I can't see reading much into that - the distribution of activity and
interest in amateur radio among the hams that work here is probably not
unlike any other group of 28 hams. Some are inactive, some are rabid
about the hobby - most are somewhere in between. If your interest is
parking yourself on one 75m SSB frequency every night and nothing else,
there isn't much reason to trade in a Pegasus on a top-of-the-line HF
transceiver . . .
The homebrewer amongst us is service manager Paul Clinton, WD4EBR.
I've got an Omni-VI Plus, an original Orion, and an Orion II at the
moment.

Some time back a member of this list did an informal poll about this and found that very few employees actually own either version of the Orion. Some like the Omni 6 Plus and various other rigs, and one at least homebrews his transmitter and receiver.
The employees that were polled are the ones most visible in the corporation. Things may have changed by now since the informal poll was done some time ago.
