Re: [TenTec] Serious market overlooked by ham manufacturers

Out in my garage I have a chassis I made in high school (1965) for 
building a 220 megacycle transmitter out of my 1952 Handbook, but it was 
never completed.  There was not much activity on the band even then.  I 
have thought about building up a transverter for it now, but probably 
won't since the VHF bands tend to be dead unless there is a contest on, 
DX spots show up on the Internet, or the Hepburn forecast looks really 
good.  Even the much more popular 2 meter band is largely just white 
noise most of the time.  The hobby is only fun when you can make some 
contacts.
