[SOC] ARRL Publication and MFJ Cub Offer

[Tom McCulloch]

I received a flyer from the ARRL where they are offering a flat rate on 
shipping if you buy more than one item.

I'll probably order the 2008 handbook (they are also giving the software 
disc for free if you order soon---of course I recently paid $20 for that--oh 
well).

I'll probably also order the "Low Power Communications" book for $20.  They 
are offering a special on that also...For $99.00 you can get a MFJ 40 Cub 
transceiver kit AND the book (The Cub goes for $99.00 + s/h from MFJ).

So my question is, do you think the Cub kit is worth $79.00? (as I'll 
already be plunking down $20.00 for the book), so for $79.00 more I'll get 
both.

Like many others I've had mixed results with the quality of MFJ stuff, so I 
guess that should be factored in, too.

Thanks
