Hi ---
First my apologies for not putting a note on here about Orion II sooner.
I missed nearly two weeks of work
between going to Canada to operate the CQ WW SSB contest and managing to
be laid out sick for four
days leading up to the trip. In all I wasn't here for 12 days and it
took some catching up time on my part
to get back up to speed. I just today read through the reflector
archive going back to October 21 to get
more up to date on what's being discussed here.
Orion II: There isn't a whole lot to say except -- coming in November
in my estimation. We've had
some production line units done for a couple of weeks now (as opposed to
pre-production beta units).
We're down to finishing the firmware and seeing if anything last-minute
comes up with either
firmware or hardware that was unanticipated.
I took a production line unit home for the first time on Nov. 2 and ran
it for several hours in the
Sweepstakes CW contest last weekend. I've been using it a lot,
listening a lot, and leaving it on
all night every night to see if anything happens. There are several
other people here who are doing
the same thing in an effort to see if anything last-minute needs to be
addressed.
