New Sprat CD
There is a brand new (version 4) Sprat CD and it is on sale right now. It contains all Sprat issues from the very beginning right up to the latest issue 140 (Autumn 2009). There is also a special deal for who purchased the version 3 CD as far back as the end of June 2009. We will upgrade you absolutely free.
Graham G3MFJ says " Because we have known about this for a while and I have still been sending out the old CD, here is a deal. Provided you have purchased the CD by mail order since the end of June 2009, and you cut out and send me the logo from the front of your old CD sleeve, I will send you a copy of the new CD for free except for the cost of the postage and packing (£1 for UK and Euro2 or US$2. for DX). Please send the postage in the form of UK stamps or Euro2 or US$2 notes".
I will of course be checking my sales records! As I have not been selling at rallies since June this deal does not apply to rally sales. If you have purchased one at a rally since June, you have probably have a pirated copy.
Sprat 143 - 25 /6/2010 - From G4WIF
The latest Issue 143 has started to arrive - please don't contact me if yours hasn't arrived until the end of the 2nd week in July as bulk mail can be unpredicatable. Some new members that joined after the mailing list was sent to the printers will wait a little longer as it takes time for the printers to send me the Summer Sprats.
In Sprat 143 (Summer 2010): Rishworth Convention ~ 2x3 Transciever ~ SMD Jig ~ Solder Paddle ~ Practical Tips. ~ Roller Coaster Coil ~ Takeaway Receiver ~ Selecting the Best Diode ~ Single Ended TDA7052 ~ BITx on 12m ~ Fishy Business ~ RF Power Attenuators ~ More Spectrum Coils ~ New DX Rep for New Zealand ~ Limerick Sudden Kit ~ Antenna - Anecdotes - Awards, Communications & Contests, QRP Calendar, VHF News, Members News.
We do not have firm "publication dates" so please avoid writing to ask if the Summer Sprat is late. It can't really be late unless Autumn arrives first.
