As most of you will have seen by now, I have added a simple indicator on the right hand side of the website, so that everyone can see the current state of play with our fundraising efforts. I'm aware of more funding incoming, and I look forward to seeing the 'temperature' rising over time. Don't forget, these funds are ring-fenced, so any money that you contribute will definitely go towards a new transceiver once the target is reached - and it WILL be reached sooner or later.
Huge thanks to those that have already got the ball rolling.
I have no idea how long this will take, but I will certainly do my bit on the fundraising front as and when time and energy permit.
The indicated 'Total Raised' is altered manually by myself once I have an updated account balance from Stella, so don't sit there refreshing the page like Tommy the Pinball Wizard, because you'll just be stressing yourself and the Internet. Remember, this is a Marathon, not a Snickers.
Tune in next week for more crummy dad-jokes, and see you at the club this Friday if you can make it.

This morning we heard the sad news that Sarah has had a nasty accident which required an urgent hospital visit, but that hopefully she is now over the worst bit and can concentrate on her recovery. MSARS wishes you all the best.

Thanks to Alan for helping me sort out the Ethernet cable to the shack, and going back in the 35 degree heat to tidy and route the cable into the 'network' cupboard.
Thanks to Ken for supporting my campaign to push the KiwiSDR project through (amongst others).
Thanks to Chris for refurbishing the Shack computer and giving it a life-saving memory and SSD transplant.
Thanks to Stella for getting me the paperwork required for the first grant application, and in record time. This really saved me a lot of stress.
Thanks to Phil for his support and advice on antennas, both for the shack and for my home-constructed test antennas, as well as actual hardware provision.
Thanks to Peter for being the administrative focal point for the grant application(s).
Thanks to Bob for helping me demonstrate the true power of remote-operation radio.
Thanks to Alex, who regularly supplies me with material for the website, when nobody else can be bothered.
Thanks to Chris and Merv who have consistently supported the clubs digital rebirth and who have volunteered to trial the SDRplay training programme.
Thanks to my wife, who, though often the butt of many of my quips and the undeserving victim of my acidic humour, always supports my obsessive and relentless approach to everything in life.
Sorry about the Nadine thing.
