[Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 95, Issue 50

[Stephen Prior]

I should like to support that.  It seems to me that a significant part of
the shipping weight is the manual - depending upon what is being ordered of
course.  That can make a big differences to those of us overseas.  I would
like the option to decline a printed manual for the larger items and enjoy
a (even if small) reduction in shipping cost.  Some of you in the USA and
Canada would I expect be horrified by how much we have to pay for shipping,
and I'm not blaming Elecraft here of course.
