[CQ-Contest] speaking of parts prices...

[n4zr@contesting.com (Pete Smith)]

What's with Heil?  They used to have a good reputation for providing small 
parts reasonably, but I recently bought a boom clip and a pair of earpads 
for a BM-10 from them.  The charge was $5.00 for each item, plus $3.00 S&H, 
and they arrived USPS in a box with 60 cents postage on it.  Yes, I know 
about the cost of handling small orders, but I think these prices have it 
built in several times over...
