Default Hacker sovereign 11 - aerials - Christmas sale at Maplin.

Hi. I started a thread on here the other day as I needed an aerial for a Hacker Sovereign 11. I was advised that a Maplin LB10 is the best available. They are normally £8.99, but I just looked on their website and they are on sale @ £2.99 ( £6.00 off ! ). So if you want one now is the time. A couple of drawbacks :

(1) Most stores only have one or two in stock ( so check availability via their website first ).

(2) You have to collect from the store.

Point (2) makes it no use to be as I live too far from a store to make it economically viable to travel that far just to save £6.00. But if anyone finds a store with lots in and is in a festive enough mood to buy an extra one and send it to me (I will happily pay cost + postage) I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have ordered 2 and one is for you. I'll pick them up in a day or two (I have up to 7 days) and will post you one. PM me and we'll sort it out. Cheers.

Ooops! Pipped to the post. I just ordered 2 to collect locally and was going to save the 2nd one for you but while I ordered it, you already had a donor. If you need 2, please PM me otherwise I'll keep it in my home 'stock'. Merry Christmas to All.

Did you pay. I opted to pay on collection so I can drop out if I want to.
