Correction, K8IQY, sorry, but I seemed to have stepped on superman's cape.

If you have not seen this already (for example, Unca Zed, K5ZTY, has), here
is the Yahoo, 2N2-40 construction users group. Jim Kortge, K8IGY is a
regular contributor.  No Radio Shack slamming, nor name calling either.

Regards,
Mark, K5MGJ

Just so we don't leave anyone out;

The group building this radio is using a Yahoo mailing list and web site
to communicate and support this project. To use the website, you must be
a Yahoo member - the address of the site is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/2n2-40/ - if you plan on building with us,
plan on joining Yahoo and using this website. We have over 90 people in
the group, so mailing files out individually would be tedious otherwise.
There is no intended slight or anything at QRP-L - having a dedicated
list and site allows us to keep the theme centered and all of our files
and updates in one place. 

To join the mailing list for the group, you DO NOT have to be a Yahoo
member. However by not joining, you will not have access to the files
nor will you have the ability to search the archives of the mailing
list. To join the list via email only, send a blank message to:
2n2-40-subscribe@yahoogroups.com - you will get a reply from Yahoo to
which you must reply to in turn. The 2n2/40 mailing list is not
moderated but it is for use in discussing and supporting the Fall 2001
build of the 2n2/40 radio only.

We are assembling various pieces and parts at this time. There are some
group buys going on already. We have 41 people presently buying parts
and most of us doing bulk purchases have been planning on buying parts
for 50. If you do join and state you want to be included in the bulk
purchase please do so only if you fully intend to build the radio. We've
done a fair bit of planning and re-doing some bulk orders will be needed
if we have to support many more people. Also, please research the
archives of the group before firing off questions on the group buys as
most of them have been announced.

Thanks to everyone for their interest in building this great radio.

Gang,

Time to get that old job networking going.  The "Company" is about to 
non-exist.  Probably be a couple of weeks or so.  Any leads for an old 
telecom guy would be appreciated.  And, NO, I don't want to ever see a 
sales person again - friends with amateur licenses excepted :-)

who may suddenly get a few amateur projects finished.
