Our non-club group, the 4-State Microwave Group (AR-KS-MO-OK) is 
currently conducting a "group buy" of parts needed for the W1GHZ simple 
and cheap transverters he presented at last fall's MUD and shown on his 
web pages.

If anyone on this microwave discussion list might be interested, the 
details may be found at http://4smicrowave.ae5k.us/gbuy/index.html
There are only TWO days left before our deadline -- which is this 
Saturday, March 21.  We can accept PayPal ONLY at this late date for any 
orders and must limit orders to U.S. addresses ONLY.  (In other words, 
ignore the part about check/money-order!)

We've structured the ordering procedure so that if a buyer already has 
the PCB from Paul W1GHZ, we can supply the remaining parts.  We even 
have some of the MiniCircuits mixers and MMICs available separately. 
Enough paid orders have been placed so far to obtain some reasonable 
discounts with price quantity breaks.

All of this is non-profit, with two of us as volunteers (gluttons for 
punishment I guess), and if there are excess funds left over, they'll be 
refunded to participants (if total refunds exceed the cost of a lunch 
for us volunteers!).

Obviously, real serious microwavers want something better than the 
transverters designed by Paul -- but these cheap/simple ones might be 
the basis for rover operation or a loan out station to prospective hams 
who might be interested in the lower microwave bands.
