Joe and others, I don't have the info handy right now, but Bob W1PE might reply here with it, as he is the one that told me about it. There is a shipping agent that is part of North American Van Lines which specializes in these sort of items. Old juke boxes, big transmitters, etc. Very reasonable, and neither the shipper or shipp-ee has to left a finger. They will come and pick the item up, wrap it, put it on a palette (if need be), put it in transit, and deliver it where the recipient wants it put.
I had a 1000lbs transmitter shipped this way from Wyoming to Arkansas for less than $600, and that included insurance. Pay the extra cost if you really want your item to come without damage, or choose the alternative, and go pick it up yourself. Now days, that's about the only two options. Bob, if you see this, can you post the contact info? 73 Brian / wa5am On 8/31/07, Joe Walden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all memebers of the various reflectors.
