I will check with "the boss" and see if he wants to order some.

Barry, you already know this but maybe it's time for me to come out of the
closet and tell the others.

I AM THE GERMAN TEN-TEC DISTRIBUTOR.

Actually Spiderbeam is, through its daughter company Appello, but I am
running Spiderbeam sales and service.  

Ron, you get "one attaboy".

No commission this time.  I'm not making any either.
This is just ham spirit.

We've had a few people contact us with dead Orions and when it was the
processor, we have been saying there are no processors available because
officially that was the only information we had out of TN/CO.
