[Elecraft] Upgrading the Shack

[Edward R Cole]

This topic probably worn out.  I ran a small ham radio business and 
used USPS to domestic and international destinations with good 
results (most of the time).  There was one shipment to the UK that 
was sent to Canada, and another to Germany was fowarded by funkpost 
to Saudia Arabia (fortunately was returned after a week to Germany 
for deliver in-country).

Main reason to chose USPS Priority Mail was cost.  UPS/FedEX 
typically charge 150% what it costs with USPS.  But funny thing is 
seeing the UPS or FedEx trucks show up to deliver the US Mail to/from 
our local PO.

BTW overnight to AK takes 2-days; 2-day delivery is always 3-days, 
etc.  Deliveries only make it on-time to the Anchorage Airport depot; 
takes another day for delivery by truck (even to Anchorage addresses).

I'm no longer in-business.  WA2ODO-Pete Manfre quit making preamps 
last July.  I stopped making DEMI kits and W6PQL amp kits a couple years ago.

Hope everyone is having a pleasant and joyous holiday.  Maybe the K4 
will arrive by Valentines??  I'm happy with my upgraded K3/10, KX3, 
and KXPA100.  Bucket truck is scheduled to work on my 6m-eme array 
after the holidays (getting new rotator, digital encoder, and thrust bearing).
