[TenTec] shipping corsair to hawaii

[Steve N4LQ]

Ok.. I might try Fedex ground. They have been beating the pants off of UPS's 
prices since they took over kinkos. I shipped via usps parcel post to kh6 
recently and it took about 6 weeks. There's just too many things that can 
happen to a box in 6 weeks ! Thanks for the input.
