Super G 1483
The problem isn't availability, its paying for the excessive shipping weight.
When I went to the Summit Source web site to order it, in addition to the $109.95 for the antenna, they want $76.88 for ground shipping. That brings the total to $186.83!
They list two different weights, one for the United States Postal Service @ “37 lbs, 11.62 oz”, and a second for UPS / FedEx @ “(2 x 37.72575 lbs)”.
I contacted Antennacraft to ask about the weight and they said "We pack the Super G1483's 2 per box when they leave our facility. The weight for a 2 pack is 8.5#'s. So each antenna would weigh approximately 4.3#'s each.”
I then talked to Erick @ Summit Source and he confirmed that even though the AntennaCraft shipping weight for a box of two Super G1483's was only 8.5 lbs the Summit Source computer takes into account dimensional weight and ground shipping would cost me $76.88.
I think before I shell out $186.83 to try one of the commercially available Hoverman designs it might be prudent to cost out building one of the more versatile Grey-Hoverman designs.
