Hi Guys, If you ever want crystals again, think about going off-shore, our crystal company, Rakon, located in Auckland, New Zealand produces some of the best crystals around. And they are not that expensive at all. Got a pair a couple of months ago, and cost $29 each (about US$18). They do ship worldwide. They can be found at rakon.co.nz
Just an added comment, I have used USPS to ship nearly 90% of items I purchase from the States. In all cases, I have received the parcels in good condition, and quick. I recently ordered a TS-480S, was mailed on a US Wednesday (NZ Thursday), and was at my door on the Monday, 4-5 days depending on how one looks at it. I have used DHL, FedEx and one other company, and the hassles I had to get the parcel, and the cost. NZ mail, which USPS sends it to, lets NZ customs decide, all the others automatically put the extra customs tax on regardless, even if there is an exception. Part of their policy. (Got a little off) Regards, and thanks for reading my 5 cents worth. (2 cents is no longer used in NZ, and soon to be no 5 cents either.) Kevin, ZL1KFM. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Papadonis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 9:39 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] crystals > Rich Garcia wrote: >> Jan has been very troublesome in the 25+ years I have been a ham, you >> hear >> of a lot of complaints. >> > > Yup.
