[Fourlanders] Group purchase of W1GHZ transverter boards andparts

[Jim Worsham]

I would say that everyone just order what they need directly from W8ISS.
For the purpose of everyone knowing who is getting stuff for what bands,
post what bands you are ordering for here on the reflector and I will keep a
list.  After we get the stuff we can then chat here on the reflector about
how we are going to get them assembled and turned into useful stations.
Antennas are going to be another issue but Bob and I have some ideas about
that we can discuss later.

you are.  If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

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.
