Correct: anti-clockwise as opposed to counter-clockwise.  ;^)

Amazingly, I have yet to have USPS destroy anything & I
used to bring a lot of stuff out this way.  Can't say the same
about QSLs, though.  ;^(

Ask for the manual to be left out (very heavy) & if you really
do not trust USPS & wish to insure for the full amount, have
something packed separately - such as the KPA.
