[Elecraft] Re: Elecraft Digest, Vol 21, Issue 36

[Gerard Provoost]

Hi Glenn,

I would not suggest to buy your Elecraft in Europe, the prices are very 
much higher then when you buy direct form Elecraft USA. The procedure is 
very simple, I used it several times. Just fill in the on-line form at 
the Elecraft site, pay by credit card and after about 2 weeks the 
mailman delevers your package. You pay him the costs to get it in the EU 
(about EUR 15 in Holland) and the VAT (19 % in Holland). I used US 
Parcel Service, a complete K2 costs about US$ 50 transport costs.

Greetings, Gerard PA1GP.
