Good Morning Joe
Yes I think it would be interesting to have a reflector set up on Those
Great old Ten Tec Argosys. Our Club station VE7NA got a Omni Db 3 years
ago that I played around quite a lot those last 3 years I loved the QSK.
I was offered an Argosy for a real good deal and grabbed it I am
thrilled at the way this old Ten Tec works. It is a great old rig. I
have on order a Tyco Hydralic Magnetic Fast Acting Circuit Breaker our
local Electronics Store is getting for me I will let everyone know how
that Circuit Breaker works for me.
