[Elecraft] Shipping a K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Alan,

Don't spread that news to my post office!  My carrier has to travel 3/4 
mile on a private road to get to the mailbox, and then if parcels will 
not fit in my large mailbox, he comes up my 1/4 mile driveway to deliver 
them to the front door.  I have always had great service from the postal 
carriers.
At least my local postal carrier does seem to care!

Of course, UPS and FedEx also deliver to the door too - we have a 
sufficiently large area for them to turn even a large truck around with 
ease.

73,
Don W3FPR
