[Hallicrafters] Article on shipping?

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Mr. Parker is correct. Nevertheless, some guidelines are helpful. All of the
posts on all of the lists, articles in all of the magazines and so forth, and
the same damage is still happening! Until shippers properly pack the items,
nothing will change. None of us can make them do that -

Hi,
    IIRC Barry Hauser wrote a detailed one that he published in HSN a yr 2
or so ago.  One problem is that the subject evokes such a diversity of
opinions on "the best" thing to do it's like asking if you should replace
xx type capacitors wholesale or however.  3 people could write separately
and all contradict the others on some points.
    Seems like almost every list has gone thru the subject at least once
in the past 2-3 yrs.
73,
Al, W8UT
