[Fourlanders] Group purchase of W1GHZ transverter boards and parts

[Bill Pence]

OK,
Looks like a go  I am in for a set as well.

Are we going to try o make a mass order, or order o our own? the
deadline looms, so
I'd think we just order our kits ourselves.


I also plan to talk with the business partners, and might be able to
get a better (TCXO, or just ore stable) clock.  I'll post that later.
unsure of its cost, or if it would be worth the effort.
