If I was going any slower I’d be going backwards!
I did already hoard some Semisouth and managed to build a couple things with them that I love 😉
Best of luck to the winners

Summary post
Now that the weekend is over, I have a bit more time to focus on this. At the moment, parts from Nelson and board kits from Randy are en route to me. William2001 is also sending me a couple of additional EUVL J2 boards that I will randomly include in the remaining packages. In fact, I have a few boards too, so may be able to provide some kind of 'extra' to everyone.Once I have all the parts and boards in hand, I'll begin the shipping process. At this time, I'll contact you via PM to request your shipping address. Once received, I'll provide a shipping cost, to be paid to me via paypal, venmo, etc. Based on shipping costs the last go around, I estimate US-based winners will pay $7-$9 and non-US-based winners will pay $15-$20. It'll be actual shipping cost + $1 for shipping supplies. Once shipped, I'll provide a tracking number to recipients.
Big thanks to @Nelson Pass, @rhthatcher and @william2001 for making this an extra special giveaway!

Build suggestions
There are lots of amazing projects that can utilize these parts. Off the top of my head, I can think of:F1J
F2J
Aleph J/SS (Aleph Jango)
J2 (boards by EUVL, ZM, or Jeff Young)
Babelfish J2
F8-ish (DCS Fate)
....and more!
correction
edit: fact is that I don't have J2 in any form as article for trade ; Babelfish J2 being so mutated from origin that is more Spoof than origin ........ when I did look better, there is a link in that line under "ZM" pointing to published pcb I completely forgot
so, yes, grab Gerbers, make your own DIY version

I could not be happier!
Time to look for J2 front end JFETs. The rest should be in the house 🙂
Hi CotyT, been a few busy days for me and just saw that my name came up as one of the winners of a pair from Nelson. I honestly didn’t think my name would be drawn twice to win a pair of the SS’s. So, in the spirit of the sharing on this amazing site please award my pair to someone on the list.
Wow, that was a very nice gesture from JSA1971. My hope is increasing..🤞🤞

Alright, parts are in!
I've just created the mailing labels and contacted the winners with shipping payment info. Once they're all paid, I'll get these in the mail – should be tomorrow. Regarding the price, I used the actual cost of the postage + $1.25 for envelope, tape, etc. International shipments went 'International First Class' via USPS and US-based addresses ship USPS Priority. Recipients should be receiving an automated email from USPS with your tracking info – please let me know once someone receives that email (not sure if they are triggered immediately or based on the scheduled dropoff date.)
