Is this the guy who makes the aerials or another company?
I bought a Thunderbolt SSD 58+ this summer. Seems to sell mainly through eBay now.

Thanks for the reply. Yes the same one! One post on facebook saying they are away in May 2023, then nothing. No products on ebay either.

I've just looked and you're correct, there doesn't seem to be a lot going on at Hawkins Radio. I did see a message back in 2021 where he posted a message squashing a rumour that he was closing down. I wonder if he doesn't bother promoting himself as his reputation does all the advertising he needs. Have you tried sending him a message directly? Worth a try. I have both the 12+ and 58+ for 11metres and am very pleased with both.

Yes ive tried that, but no reply. Its a pity as their product appeared to be superior to the rest out there.
Many thanks, Rob.

That will definitely be a shame if Hawkins are no longer in business. Let's hope this is just a blip in service and that they will be back soon!

Well they are not communicating to their customers the situation which is bad business. People are asking them whats happening on facebook and no response. I have waited too long for a response and now I have taken my business elsewhere. It’s their problem! I understand its a member of this club.
