[TowerTalk] C31XR shipping interval?

[Jim McDonald]

I received mine a couple of weeks ago, just when I was promised, which was 5
weeks after receipt of the order.  I was told all are built to order.

There seems to be a two month delay from the proposed shipping date and
the actual shipping date. This seems to be a common situation with amateur

radio tower and accessories with delays of six to eight months. This just
seems to
be a sign of the times, high demand and low supply. The moral is to order
the
equipment a year before you need it hi hi.. My C31XR arrived two month
late.
Just in time for winter but the tower installation was delayed five months
because
of wet conditions.
