Kind of an interesting store. Everything from HiFi tube audio amps to PRC-6
solidstate supplies (even including schematic, which is a pleasant surprise.)

My experience has been similar. I bought a WS19 antenna variometer for the
going price from the U.K., and it cost more than double the price to ship it.
The shipping, as i recall, was around $100. That was NOT airmail. ( Maybe
THAT was my mistake? )
