Ten-Tec HF CW QRP xcvr kits

[Ten-Tec Inc.]

Greetings from Ten-Tec in Sevierville, TN.  This message is a general
announcement regarding our HF QRP CW kits, followed by a specification
listing.  We will be posting identical information to our web site
<http://www.tentec.com> shortly. 

Dear Friends:

We had planned to ship 40 meter models well before Christmas followed
by 30 meters a few weeks later.  20 and 80 meters were to follow in 
January.  Unfortunately, we find it necessary to delay this schedule by
one month.  All the design work is complete, the assembly manuals are
coming along fine but we have a shortage of production labor to make
the sheet metal and bare PC boards.

We apologize for the delay and expect to ship 40 meter units by mid-
January.  Thanks for your patience and we are confident you'll find it
worth the wait.

73,
from the hams at Ten-Tec
