[Elecraft] Upgrading the Shack

[Clay Autery]

If one can avoid it, one should NEVER use UPS to ship to Canada....  
They have some bizarre relationship with the "Crown's Tax 
Collector"....  I remember customers having to pay a UPS processing fee 
of $50 on top of taxes, shipping, et al...
FEDEX or USPS to the Great White North!
