I bought a similar kit at a local hamfest...I paid more than the above, but 
didn't pay shipping...so it was close to a draw....also got two base plates that 
kinda fan out, and a neat top hat for mutliple wires.

Mine was heavy enough that I had a bit of difficulty getting it back to the 
car...and several folks commented that they too were winded after getting theirs 
last year.
