[RTTY] ZS2EZ - Help Needed!

[Barry Murrell ZS2EZ]

WOW!!  What an amazing response!!!

I had NO idea that anyone could get parts directly from Ameritron (MFJ)....
would be awesome if I could source those components at those prices!! Even
my limited budget can stretch to that!!

Pete N4ZR brings up a couple of interesting points : Import duty is not a
problem if sent by a private individual as a "gift" under a nominal amount
(I think it is about $100)... bust reliability of mail is a HUGE problem
here - our National Post Office is effectively bankrupt, and often cannot
afford to pay airfreight for parcels to outlying cities! I am 1000km away
from the main "hub" in Johannesburg, and often airfreight items can lie
there for several weeks before being forwarded (if they make it to their
destinations at all). For example, my mother received a Christmas card from
a relative in the UK (posted 2 weeks before Christmas) on this past Monday!!
I unfortunately do not have any contacts travelling anywhere abroad for
several months (my friends John ZS6JON and Paul ZS6NK are going to
Friedrichshafen this year, but that is now only in July). As this would be a
small and light parcel, it would probably be practical and affordable to
have it sent via DHL or similar - at least then I would be assured of
getting it!!

Would be really great if someone that can accept Paypal could manage to get
these items from Ameritron (to be sure of no further issues I would ideally
like to get 2 of each!) and forward them to me via DHL/Aramex or similar
labelled as a "gift", and I could then reimburse via Paypal!!!

Thanks SO much for all the responses - really appreciated!!

The resistor is Ameritron part 107-4500  $2.40

The Cap is Ameritron part 270-6210-7 $13.53

 From MFJ.  I assume they can be found cheaper elsewhere.
