Hi Folks
I can no longer recommend this company as they have change shipping from Fed Ex to UPS and my orders now cost 30% more and take 1.5 days longer to arrive.

Unless of course you live near MI-ON boarder and can go over there and get what you want and bring it back yourself.

Actually no you can't pickup US residents only.

The posts regarding FedEx and Solid Signal that were originally in this thread are now in the following thread dedicated to those kinds of cross-border shipping problems:

I recently came across a source with several Winegard 6065, 10 element,
fm antennas for sale. This apparently excellent fringe antenna has no been available for several years, so some OTA enthusiasts may be interested. They are in a Vermont State Surplus warehouse, Waterbury VT, USA. Possibly there are still some available. I bought one two weeks ago.

They are advertised on: burlington.craigslist.org/hsh/3029237858.html

Is Sunnydirect.ca a reputable online OTA supplier? They have an Ontario address. Has anyone done business with them, or knows anyone who has? Previously, I had heard of "t1gerd1rect", but didn't know much about them at all.

If this isn't the correct thread, I apologize.
I came across this
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/11/prweb10116727.htm
>>Antennas Direct Monitors & Enforces MAP Policy with Channel IQ

MAP is minimum advertised price

It seems to be saying that they're stopping people from selling Antennas Direct products online at prices they consider too low

>>“We’re targeting online retailers that under-price our quality antennas in an attempt to take business from reputable resellers”

I just noticed that Best Buy Canada (and Future Shop) now sells the Antennas Direct DB-4e on their website at a good price (search for DB4-E). It is the only good antenna they seem to sell.

I wrote a favorable review on their website, I suggest others do the same to encourage Best Buy to start getting more good antennas.
