Pre-Sale Announcement - 80w 2m amplifier

[Edward R Cole]

I have finally gotten a breather from building transverters so
announcing a special order opportunity for those who wrote me
directly indicating an interest in purchasing the "W6PQL" 80w 2m Linear Amp.

This is a pre-sales special offer (starting today) for priority
purchase of the amp which is only going out to the seven of you who
showed the most interest.  Public opening of sales will take place a
week from tomorrow (Nov. 23) with announcements on my webpage and a
few chosen e-mail reflectors.

Orders will be taken in the order I receive e-mail stating intent to
buy (with seven days to pay) or by receipt of PayPal.  If I receive a
minimum of five paid orders in the coming week, I can make volume
ordering of parts which I will share the savings divided between the
purchasers:  estimated* savings of $25 for assembled amps and $10
saving on kits.  I estimate I can assemble five amplifers per month
with first ordered amp delivered in about four weeks of order.

Current price:  $369.00 (assembled & tested), $299.00 kit.  Add
shipping&insurance by flat-rate Priority Mail $18.00

Here is a spreadsheet parts costs and mark up:

This is not for public view (for your eyes only), so please do not
share the spreadsheet url.

Payment by PayPal to [hidden email] <preferred> or Postal Money
Order or Personal Check (delay for bank clearance on checks).

Well the cat is out of the bag.  I did not intend to publicize this
until next week.  General orders will not be taken until then, so if
you are not one of the seven I intended to receive this - you can relax.

I will open up orders on Nov. 23 taken in order of e-mail sent after
0000utc and of course receipt of PayPal.  You can wait till then for
details or check my website where I will post more info during the week.

Please do not order or send PayPal until then if you are not on the
select list I originally posted.  They all sent me e-mail indicating
interest and getting the first shot at ordering (that window closes
on Nov. 23 when I open it up to everybody).

Good response with six paid pre-orders which will take me until after
Christmas to finish construction (I build one at a time).  I am now
ordering the parts which in some cases gets quantity discounts and/or
reduced shipping per unit.

The next opening for taking orders will be at 0000utc on Nov. 23
(which is Sunday evening in the US).  Orders will be taken but no
payment will accepted at this time.  Production on this group of
orders will begin in Jan. 2016 and I will contact those ordering the
last week of December for payment of their order.  Orders will be
filled in order of order received and paid.  I probably will cut off
the next group of orders at five as that is about what I can produce
in a month and no point in someone waiting longer.  Any orders
received next week beyond 5 will be retained and contacted near end of Jan.

This batch ordering method will allow me to keep parts costs
minimized and pass the savings to you.  Currently the price is
$299.00 plus $18 US ship&ins for kits and $369.00 plus $18 US
ship&ins fully assembled and tested .  International shipping&
insurance is more (eg: to England $69.95).  Shipping is via medium
sized Priority Mail carton.  There may be some adjustment in price
after I see what the initial parts costs total.

The amplifiers are W6PQL design pc boards.  Input drive 1-10w with
80w output (linear).  12v dc power.  Internal TR relay bypasses for
Rx.  SSB/FM time constant switch and RF output LED bar meter.  4-inch
fan on 5-3/8 by 8 inch heat sink.
