W3FPR Fixed AF Output PC Boards... last one(s) available

[Tom Hammond-2]

Folks:

I'll try to keep this short (but I've NEVER been able to do that before, dunno
why I think I can do it now)...

I while back, I wrote that I had a limited supply of the W3FPR Fixed Level AF
Output PC Board (for the K2) available and that when they were gone, there'd
be no more available.

Of course, I received a slug of orders, which decimated the supply..!

One of my customers ordered two (2) boards which I duly mailed off to him.

They were never delivered. (FIRST TIME I've actually had a non-delivery, out
of several HUNDRED previous shipments).  So I sent him the LAST TWO PC boards
in stock (I'd held them back as 'backups' in case his first shipment didn't
arrive.

Imagine my amazement when he called to say that the second shipment FILED to
arrive as well!!!!!

I'd asked him to exercise (even more) patience, and to give another 7-10 days
for the package to be delivered.

Though neither the first  nor second envelopes were delivered to
their destination,
they did (finally) come BACK TO ME... marked, "NO SUCH ADDRESS -
CANNOT DELIVER"..!

Turns out the purchaser made a typo when he sent his mailing address to me,
reversing two digits in the street address.

Sooo... I've now sent two PCBs to him (at the correct address) and I have two
PC boards remaining.  BOTH of the remaining PC boards are potentially COMMITTED
to folks who I had to (initially) turn down for orders.

I have sent an 'availability' note to one of those folks, BUT I've managed to
lose the name/address of the last remaining potential purchaser.

Owing to the honesty of hams, I'm now asking that IF you were the person I had
to turn down on the purchase, PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY at N0SS.NET... I
have your PC board waiting to go out to you.

If it turns out the one or both of those potential purchasers no
longer want the
PC boards, I'll announce that they are again available.

Told ya, I couldn't type a short note!  Sorry!!!

73,

Tom Hammond   N0SS

Hi Matt:

I'm CCing the reflector in case someone else has the same question.

OH ABSOLUTELY!

I'd be HAPPY(!) to provide you (or anyone else for that matter) with the
artwork required to produce a PC board via the photo-etching process.

I can supply B&W artwork at either 1X or 2X (or some other magnification
if you prefer), and at 300 or 600 DPI resolution.  I usually send these
out as PDFs which can be printed directly onto either plain white paper
or onto clear acetate (for directly making a negative if you do your own
contact exposure of the negative to home-etched pre-sensitized PC board).

I'd need to know whether you want a photo positive (black where copper
is to remain), or negative (white/clear where copper is to remain).  The
process (KPR-4) which I use required a photo-negative image, but many
others use a photo-positive working resist.

If you can accept a PDF and print your own master images, there's no charge
for the images. IF I have to print and mail them to you, there will be a
nominal printing/mailing charge required.

I have a number of other PC board designs for which this offer holds as well.
