Hello All,

Just a quick update for everyone. 

I have two new items in the works. Items will be available as a kit. 
-A linked dipole kit that supports 10m-80m or a variation. Pricing is not yet determined.  
-A ultra light and ultra portable 5Ah, 18Wh battery pack used for powering QRP rigs. Supported voltage output are 5v, 9v and 12v DC with a maximum output power rating of 23w. It utilizes USB-C for charging and discharging and fully supports the PD standard. Initial testing is very promising with very long runtimes. 

The 1st batch of the Yaesu FT-70 batteries have been shipped. A supplier delay with my batteries have delayed shipment of the 2nd batch of the FT-70 batteries. I hope to have them shipped out no later than Wednesday.

Availability of the FT-3/5 batteries are better than they have been. The overwhelming demand has cooled, allowing for the batteries to stay in stock for days instead of minutes. If you have not had the chance to get one, now is a great opportunity. 

Shipping to Canada has been resumed.

Shipping worldwide has proved to be mostly issue free. International customer are invited to get a battery! If you come across any shipping or checkout issues, please reach out to me directly at kevin@w0aez.com.

The next radio battery planned is for the Icom ID-51/52, though I can't provide an ETA.

On a final note, I have started exploring advertising to help boost traffic to the store.
