3 First, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that
4 [TeleMetrum](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum) is now the subject
5 of a post on the [Make magazine](http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/04/telemetrum_an_open_hardware_telemet.html) site. Very cool!
7 As reported last week, I've been waiting for better GPS antennas to arrive,
8 but heavy snow here in Colorado last Friday delayed delivery. They finally
9 arrived, and as I hoped, they appear to completely solve our signal strength
12 So... [drum roll, please!]... I am very happy to announce that the first
13 production build of [TeleMetrum](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum) boards
14 and starter kits are now "in stock" at the [Garbee and Garbee](http://gag.com)
15 [web store](http://auric.gag.com), along with other products designed by the
16 [Altus Metrum](http://altusmetrum.org) community!
18 [Keith](http://keithp.com/keithp/) and I are still working on the new
19 Java-based ground station software and user documentation for the
20 system. Watch this space for updates. I hope we'll have both ready for
21 download by the time customers actually receive hardware...
