[Milsurplus] ART-13 speech amp

[George Babits]

Shipping through eBay, especially internationally, definately has some 
advantages.  For one thing,  eBay is a "most favored shipper" with FedX, 
UPS, and the USPO.  FedX shipping through eBay shipping is about 1/2 what it 
is to take something to a FedX shipper.   UPS discount is about 30%; and the 
USPO is about 10%.  With the outrageous shipping costs (blamed on high fuel 
costs - - yea right) these days, the savings adds up quickly.

It is going to be interesting to see if the "Ham Radio" ART-13 speech amp 
makes it out of the country this time.

73,
George
