The owner of Ten Tech, etc., made some "not so complementary" comments
concerning people asking questions about the status of Ten Tech, etc., on
QRZ.com. Those comments stirred up a firestorm on the site.

Hi Joe,
Most of what I know came from the Ten Tec website, which, I think, is
owned by the current Alpha owner, Mike Dishop. Here's their website.
http://www.alpharfsystems.com/
As I understand it, they have been building 9500s and 8406s in CO, and
at least one of their key employees (Glen, down remember his call) is
working there. They are repairing Alpha products there, and Ten Tec in
OH. Array Solutions is also repairing Alpha amps.
They're operating on a shoestring, with no telephone contact, only
email. AFAIK, they're not currently building Ten Tec ham gear, but are
producing commercial products, which pays the bills for the rest of
their operations.
I recently bought a pair of 87As from a local friend. Both are working
fine. I almost bought an 89 before the second 87A became available, but
it came with a problem, so I passed on it. The owner found a good repair
for it (don't think I heard who).
