<p class=MsoNormal>Fellow Club Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It’s getting close to the time that I need to order
parts for next months club project “ Digital Mode Interface kits”.
There can be a lead time of 3 weeks for some parts, so I need to know for
sure by the end of this week what people need. It’s not to late to
order or change your order. Just let me know soon! One thing to
keep in mind is this is NOT being built on a printed circuit board but on perf
board. So while this is a simple kit, it will require some soldering skills. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please look over the list and see if your order looks
correct. If not please let me know quickly. <o:p></o:p></p>
