SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING E-MAILING US:

In the interests of being able to make timely responses to you, our customers, Blue Feather's mail servers are configured with strong spam-filtering measures. These include (but may not be limited to) our own local blacklist of spam sources and open relays, and those maintained by The Spamhaus Project.

EVERY effort has been made to let legitimate E-mail through our filters. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that some such traffic may be blocked, possibly due to being sent through an open mail relay or via an ISP that is known to be a spam source.

IF YOU DO MAIL US, and it bounces, please try phoning or FAXing us. I have, unfortunately, had to discontinue the backup E-mail address due to spam load, and changes in the hosting server that would have made it difficult, if not impossible, to continue.

ATTENTION HOTMAIL AND MSN USERS: Due to an extremely high incidence of spam and other network sewage, and an apparent lack of any interest on the part of Hotmail or MSN in dealing with those problems, we have, regrettably, found it necessary to block ALL traffic originating with Hotmail.com, msn.com, or similar domains from reaching our servers.

If you are attempting to reach us from these systems, your message will definitely bounce. Please phone or FAX us instead.

What We Do...

A whole slew of different things! Blue Feather's goal is to provide services and components useful to both hobbyists and the electronics industry. We're a reseller for mil-spec electrical connectors, and we also provide conversion service (commercial to amateur radio), programming, and sales of parts and accessories for Motorola Land/Mobile 2-way radios.

We also have limited assembly capability if you happen to need, say, a cable pigtail with connectors attached.

Base Rates and Other Details...

Our base labor rate is $40.00/hour with a half-hour ($20.00) minimum. Special pricing is available for basic diagnostic checkout of radio equipment when no alignment or repairs are involved. See 'RF Services' for details.

WA State sales tax may apply to some goods and/or services, depending on whether you're a reseller or end user, and where you are physically located. Residents of states that charge 3% or less retail sales tax are exempt.

Net-30 terms are available to OEMs, corporate accounts, and government entities. We accept Visa, MasterCard, or Discover for credit/debit card payments.

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your specific project requirements, please feel free to contact us via phone, FAX, or E-mail.

Why does our page look so sparse?

The answer is very simple, and is part of our core philosophy. You most likely came here to obtain straightforward and concise details about our services, and not to be inundated with pushy banner ads.

So be it. Although it is possible that those of you with a marketing background may think of it as 'old fashioned,' it is my firm belief that one should not have to dig through megabytes of hyperactive animated graphics, touting the latest in sideburn removers or whatever, to get to the information one wants.

Thanks for visiting. I sincerely hope that we can be of assistance with your next project.
