Topband: Teflon Tubing

[Tom W8JI]

Before we get too nasty with names about this, the USPS has a terrible 
website for finding first class to Canada.

It intentionally steers people into priority, with first class as a somewhat 
hidden option.

It is very common to miss the cheaper rates unless one reads the fine print.

No good deed goes unpunished.
