My birthday gift has arrived.

 

A belated birthday gift arrived the other day, when the order was placed the item just went on back order so I had to wait. I ordered this item from Radio world here in Canada and I have to say that this company is first class. They are the DX Engineering of Canada and if you have ever dealt with DX Engineering you know what I am talking about. When the antenna was ordered I was not charged until the unit came in. Once it was shipped I was sent the tracking number and a link from there office that gave me updated information as to the where the item was in it 's travels. Then when it arrived the store sent me an email letting me know it had arrived. The expedited shipping is very reasonably priced, as in the past I have very frequently come across when shipping is more expensive than the item itself. This store is located in Toronto and when I lived in that city I often would drive up to their store. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. In a very short time they knew your name and upon return visit to the store you were known on a first name basis. 

So what whats in the box? I will be waiting until the weather warms up a bit more until the assembly and tuning starts.
