Looney if you have a semi steady hand the bf862s are not too hard. I do recommend an smd tip (small chisel shape) for your iron it helps a lot. I may post a YouTube video when the pcbs arrive as a quick guide if it will help others with soldering.
Thanks (and sorry for the late reply)!

Hi All, I know haven't been on the forum much lately so please accept my appologies for not keeping you all up to date on the status. I had a few hold issues on the silk screen of the board which definitely delayed the production. I do have the tracking information and I am schedule to receive the boards tomorrow. As soon as I have them I will post a picture. Over the weekend I will get myself organized and update the spreadsheet to confirm those who have paid, who I need to send my paypal information and who I am waiting for a response from.
This has been a major learning experience for me at a time when I had a lot going on personally but I plan to make the next and most important steps move smoothly and efficiently.
Look for my pic tomorrow evening. N

What is happening with this group buy?
It would be nice to get an update.
I haven't paid yet.
Do not pay.
looks like a few of us have lost our money. he's gone off the radar.
Michael, thanks for emailing and kicking my butt to reply. Due to a mix of professional and personal reasons my time has been severally limited. That said I am holding 100 boards and 500 jfet that I bought so many months ago.
Sorry all that I have been avoiding this responsibility. I should have reached out earlier to the community for help.

I had originally agreed to solder the BF862s on roughly 40-50 boards. To date I have done about 10pcbs. I would like to have 50 boards with the jfet installed prior to taking anymore payments. If I push through a little every night this week I could be ready to start shipping next week.
Is anyone available to write a BOM? I can share the layout files so it will go easier.
