Hope everyone had a great June. For Ham Radio, June means ARRL Field Day, and that has kept us busy for the last several weeks. Things are a bit of a mess as we unpack from the trip and put the equipment back. During the same time period we rearranged our production and shipping areas, and some work remains there. We are ramping up parts ordering and have enabled the Online Catalog, and will be ready to ship soon.

This year we deployed a Spiderbeam with the Pneumatic Launcher. This is accomplished by putting a line over two trees with space between them, and pulling the beam to a pulley in the center of the space. The trees at our chosen Field Day site were a bit shorter than previous sites, so the beam was a bit lower than usual, but it did perform pretty well. Since we had no Sunspots to help out, this was excellent performance. Another member of the group deployed an extended double Zepp for 40 meters, and was greeted with strong pileups. Pneumatic Launching does the job, again!!

Thanks for your patience and great to be back!

We had a good trip to Hamvention, and visited with many Launcher owners. Thanks to all for your support.

I spent last weekend machining and the last few parts came in yesterday. At present we are packing the remainder of orders. They will all be shipped within the next couple of business days.

The online store is temporarily closed until July 1. We are getting existing orders out for Field Day. We will be out of town the next two weekends.

See you at Dayton!
