Now, I don't want any disappointed ham to hang himself with a piece of
RG-8/U! The lousy band conditions are depressing enough. Pass the Xanax...

>> The excitement is building as Orion and Orion II owners anticipate the
>> arrival of the first firmware update for their fine rigs in nearly two
>> years. Never mind the Oscars, the Grammys, or even the Pulitzer, this
>> 'red-carpet' event has hams around the planet repeatedly aiming their
>> browsers at the Ten Tec Downloads page to see if anything new has shown
>> up!
>>
>> The recent e-mail that the beta testing was finished and that the factory
>> planned a release by the end of the week, plus an observation I made a
>> couple of years ago that most previous releases came on Fridays, has us
>> all anticipating the big arrival. If it does come tomorrow, it would be
>> well-timed for the start of the ARRL International CW DX contest, a
>> perfect place to put the new code to the ultimate test!
>>
>> This time tomorrow, will we be jubilantly ruling the bands, sporting the
>> "K3 killer" code, or will be be tossing and turning in our beds thinking
>> "maybe next week..."? Join us again tomorrow for another exciting
>> adventure of "As the Tuning Dial Turns"!
