[Elecraft] Shipping a K3

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Hah!  Our mailbox is on a well-traveled road about 200 yards from the 
house and not in line of sight.  When we first moved here, I had one or 
two packages just left on top of the mailbox, and I complained 
vigorously to the post office.  Since then, our carrier has delivered 
any packages too big for our mailbox to our front porch.  I understand 
that rural route carriers operate under different rules and a different 
contract than regular letter carriers - personal vehicles and no 
uniforms.  Perhaps that's why?
