I'm sure that it has to do with the economy. All costs considered,
it's very expensive for companies to send representatives and equipment
to the various conventions and hamfests.
Some years ago, before Scott moved on to Vibroplex, I asked him about
attending our convention in southern California. Even then, he said
that Ten-Tec had made a business decision to attend mainly Dayton in the
future.
I have to hand it to Elecraft, though. They go all over the country to
promote their products. It doesn't look like they'll be at the Yuma
Hamfest, though. Probably not enough hams in attendance to warrant the
time and expense.

I am writing in response to the questions about why TEN-TEC was not represented
at the Orlando hamfest this past weekend. I was in contact today with Jim
Wharton NO4A, Vice President TEN-TEC, INC, and he explained to me why they were
not at the Orlando hamfest this year.
Jim told me to pass his email address jwharton@tentec.com and anyone can
contact him and he would explain TEN-TEC's reasoning for not attending the
Orlando hamfest this year.
Jim also told me to remind everyone about TEN-TEC's no questions asked 30 day
return policy, so if anyone wanted to see and operate a certain TEN-TEC radio
they can try one out in their own hamshack. No other Amateur Radio Company
offers this generous policy.
Jim wanted me to remind everyone that TEN-TEC will be represented at the Dayton
Hamvention in May. Thank you.
