<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I guess at least one person was confused by my announcement and
procedure, so will clarify and add a few additional suggestions. I been around
on this list since day one and in my age, I tend to take things for granted and
‘skip to the chase’! (smile)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT YOU MAY HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST
IN THE MERCURY PROJECT ON HAMSDR IN THE PAST YEAR, THE NUMBERS YOU ENTERED FOR
BARE BOARD OR ASSEMBLED AND TESTED MERCURY BOARD WERE CLEARED OUT AS OF THIS
PAST SUNDAY. IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO SINCE SUNDAY YOU MUST RE-ENTER THE NUMBER
OF MERCURY BOARDS YOU WOULD PURCHASE AT THE PROJECTED PRICE ON THE WEBSITE.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For the 192 of you who HAVE already re-entered quantities,
you read my previous instructions correctly, no need to re-visit! For those who
have NOT updated quantities for Mercury or Mercury Bare Board, you have until
Sunday October 5 to update the quantities of product you would be interested in
purchasing! AFTER Sunday October 5 th the Mercury columns on HAMSDR will be
discontinued and the information passed to TAPR to determine final build
quantities. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The intent of ‘refreshing’ the current interest
in quantities is so that within a week or two, TAPR can calculate the realistic
number of boards to produce and a final costing, based on CURRENT
interest with proposed pricing. The first ‘expression of interest’
on any project is just to get a ‘feel’. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If anyone is confused by the above please e-mail me at
ecellison <at> Comcast.net. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To visit Hamsdr and update or generate new quantities, you
must be a ‘member’ on the Hamsdr website. Becoming a member is a
cinch and no risk! You MUST be logged in as a member! When you log in, you will
see a TAB called projects. Hover over the tab and select TAPR-HPSDR you will be
presented with a page header, currently explaining the Mercury Project proposed
Pricing and information on TAPR’s intent! Below that will be a
‘spreadsheet’ with your Callsign if you have already expressed
interest in any project you will already appear on the list. Hunt
yourself down, and click on the ‘edit’ to the right of your record.
Add or change quantities for any of the projects listed but Mercury ‘for
sure’. If you don’t have an established record, click the
button “Express Your interest” and a record will be created for you
with the information you supplied when you became a member of Hamsdr! Please
make sure your e-mail information is correct. It will NOT be compromised in any
way, but is important as we go to production and keeping you informed directly
on what is going on. If you are not interested or deceased since the original
‘expression of interst’ you need not reply or do anything.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>More information:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please pass along the availability of Mercury and my
previous post to other lists you have access to who might be interested
in State of the Art Radio! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For anyone new:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mercury is NOT a stand alone receiver! It is one project
board in a series of projects which are interdependent! For Mercury to be the
world class receiver you expect from the stats Phil posted, you will need some
other HPSDR supporting boards><o:p></o:p></p>
