Paying by paypal: I don't have a paypal button, so you will have to go to www.paypal.com and click on "send money" Use this email address for the recipicent [kd1jv at ncia dot net] Of course, "at" must be replaced by "@" and "dot" with "." , along with the spaces. My ISP decided to drop the "moose" from my email address on me (without telling me of course) so messages sent to that address are bouncing.

Note on DX shipping: Kits are shipped via Small Packet Air Mail. These can not be tracked and are not insured. The package typically arrives in 5 to 7 days in most countries, but of course can varry considerably. Italy has the worst track record, with packages often taking months to arrive, if at all. If you live somewhere with unreliable or slow postal delivery, you take the risk of it not getting to you.
