David: I am not offended. The fact is, I ship like this all over the world and never a problem for the last 10 years. By the way, the transformer weighs less than the 40 pounds. Two boxes, two layers of foam and bolted down. Pure and simple, total neglect on FedEx's part. Gary...WZ1M -

Very fine, Gary. I was only talking in generalities, of course. Everyone has the right to air his/her opinions. If you run another ad in the Collins Journal, please let me know as we did before. I am in the process of putting together the July/August issue. It will be one of the best.

Gary, I apologize for drawing any bad press your way over this. My intention was to show that even when things are packed well, as evidenced by the blueboard foam in the photos cut to fit the iron, double layers of white foam sheeting, and double boxing, it can still get trashed by some idiot.

I am real sorry for Todd's, KA1KAQ, mod transformer being damaged. Weather it was my fault or the shipper. The damage is done. Claims have been submitted. I think this group should move on to other more related topics of discussion. I did learn one thing, from now on, anything 20 pounds or more

Hi Gary, Unfortunately this group all too often gets on a tangent about some re-hashed thing INSTEAD of doing what the list is for - helping others make better rigs. For those of us who have been there - done that its way to much of nothing. Folks need to get a life. Thanks for your
