[TowerTalk] Shipping Costs

[wa5zup]

Last year at this time I paid $1540 for a LM-354HD SP (motorized) with all
the goodies, shipping receipt said 1400 pounds total, from CA to NM.
The LM-470 weighs more, and fuel costs what they are now, that sounds about
right.

A couple of years ago I paid only approx. $900 to ship my new HDX-555 
from the factory in Kansas to W. Michigan. I *think* they might have 
simply found an owner-operator trucker who was heading back this way anyway.
