I see Paul's wife wasn't the only one in the family involved in story
telling. I'm just glad I checked out the site before I passed it on to
someone who's seriously interested in the Orion. Not that I have much
credibility left, but really...

Subject: [TenTec] NEW!!! W8KC's Orion website!!!
Hello Everyone!
Ok, the truth has to be told. I actually got to see the Orion a couple weeks
ago when I paid an unannounced visit to the factory.
You see there was this wonderful story-telling festival in Pigeon Forge that
weekend. Pigeon Forge is just up the road from Sevierville. My kids wanted
to swim at the swanky hotel we were staying at, and my dear wife was happy
to sit by the pool and read her trashy romance novels. This combination of
fortuitous events enabled me to sneak down to Ten*Tec for a look-see around.
Scott was away that Friday - out to the East Coast for the big DX contest.
That left poor Stan to try and entertain me while fielding orders for the
Jupiter. While Stan was on the fone busy selling Jupiters, I had free run of
the factory!
I hastily grabbed all the engineering documentation I could on the Orion,
and took a few snapshots of the assembled prototype. Heh Heh!!! I'm so
clever ;-)
Here ya go folks : http://mywebpages.comcast.net/w8kc/orion_mod_page.html
Boy I hope that worked. It's the first time I've tried anything with the
new Comcast system. Just don't overload the Comcast webservers with
thousands of hits!
