I have taken on the job of collecting orders for the group battery buy

Please respond *before noon May 30* with your order if you want to 
participate.  The prices, including tax are:

AAA NiMh cells, 800 mAh, pkg of 4 in a case             $ 3.22 each

We will find a way to handle the finances of the project.  Money is due 
by June 7th.

Here is the info from Seth:

I am Seth Mallory KF6UZX AEC from Palo Alto.  I am forwarding a message 
about a group order for NIMH AA batteries and chargers together for Palo 
Alto.  If you have people that want to join I would like to have one 
person from each city take and collect the orders for each city and then 
I will give the batteries to that person for distribution.  Since I am 
late in sending this to you I will extend the date for needing the 
orders and money to June 10.  The prices are without shipping or gas 
expense so I would like to make only one stop per city.  If you decide 
to participate or have any questions please send me an email to let me 
know.
 
The chargers are T-1000 smart charger that charges up to 4 batteries 2-3 
hours.  It also charge using the cigarette adapter in your car.  The 
price is 8.40$ and with tax it is 9.10$.
 
If we get enough people wanting AAA batteries they will be $3.22 
including tax for 4 900 mAh batteries with a case.
 
Please send me an email with your order by May 30.  I will need the 
money by June 7.
 
For those that missed my email on this subject let me give you a short 
version.  This is from lessons from Katrina.  If we have a large 
earthquake we may be operating 2 or more weeks.  If that happens we will 
probably not be able to get more AAA batteries so we must make the ones 
we have last.  So my idea is that I should have enough NI-MH batteries 
to last 2 days.  Also I should have the chargers to be able to charge 1 
days worth at a time so I am not changing them during the time I am 
trying to sleep.  >From experience I should be able to run all day with 
2 sets for my radio of fairly heavy traffic.  This works out to 12 
batteries a day and 24 for 2 days.  Also I should have 3 chargers.
