Re: The end of inexpensive printed circuit boards and parts

I ordered a Made in USA backpack on eBay and had to clear customs
It was used
25% tarrif applied by Canada to US products coming in. China is 10% tarrif .
Canada is friendly to CCP for so many reasons
So I guess I should what DX eng is doing but if new radios land from Japan there will be stiff tarrifs to deal with
This will result in hams making radios from old tv sets like they did in communist countries during the cold war
Aluminum jpoles? Tarrif
Canadians love paying 13% retail tax already and a total 44% income tax rate
So if half goes to food and a roof over you that Icom x7760 becomes a financed? credit card buy. Even a 7300 on monthly terms as discretionary spending is weak right now
Honey, did have to buy a KH1? Did you not see the exchange rate is 50% due to over printing money?
So 1300 usd is now 1950 cad?
Add 25% tarrif then add 13% HST
Wow, please give me a US call sign and a home in sunny florida please
Honey, did you sell my car to buy another QRP radio?
I am sorry Honey
