       Hi all, after reading all of the posts the last week about
the Ten Tec ham feist, and you guys rubbing it in as to what a
really great and terrific time you had drooling and fondling over
all of the Ten Tec stuff , and some of you ( probally most of you
!) went home with some new and old toys, had a chance to rub
elbows with the FACTORY BOYS ! and TOUR the Ten-Tec plant !
Well, let me tell you guys, I'am stuck over here ( way over here
! ) in GresHAM  O-RE-GONE ! and its a mighty long haul from here
to Tennessee, ( I know, I've done it on the Motorcycle ! )  and
there was just no way I could attend, and I'am really, REALLY
JEALOUS !!  and you guys just keep rubbing it in, and rubbing it
in, and RUBBING IT IN !   and for gods sake's, Stan Brock even
sent out a post of "thanks" to everyone for attending, and what a
terrific time they HAD ! and me, well let me tell you, I just say
out here in O-RE-GONE ...............waiting.

     And so,  I have  thought about this for the past few days,
and now its my turn to make you guys jealous !  plus I'am really
gonna give you Ten-Tec fans a reason to fire up them new and old
Ten-Tec radios  and put them to good use !

   So,  I have been out in the garage all last week in the
evenings and all this weekend putting things together, heres the
list:

2 ea.   Omni VI's
2 ea.   Centurion  amps.
2 ea.   Laptops, loaded with TRlog, and all of the necessary
cables to run the
           radios,c.w. , paddle input, etc.
2 ea.   paddles
