Leave rig on 24hrs? WAS: [TenTec] QRV -Reply

GOSH:
It has gotten to where the first BSer doesn't stand a chance anymore!  I
am afraid it has already passed my level of experience!  Seriously, I have
always enjoyed people with good senses of humor, and it seems we
have some great ones here. God bless America and TT.  Throw Harley
Davidson in there too!

ObTenTec:  I am STILL seeking ft-243 style crystals for my TenTec
TX-100.
    Need some for the low end of 40 and 80M.  Anyone want to take
    a stab at a TenTec QSO Party?  Awards for most TenTec rigs
    worked, oldest, most Argonauts, Deltas, etc... ???  Hmmmmmm
