[TenTec] Multirigs recap

[Dave Kelley]

I got a lot of different answers to my question about why some hams
own several copies of the same model rig. The common thread seemed to
be that these Ten-Tec owners like their rigs so much they want to own
more than one!

Some of the reasons cited:
1. A different rig and amp for each band to avoid tuning up after
   changing bands.
2. "Buy low, sell high." Buying a rig at a bargain price, fixing it
   up, then selling it at a higher price as a means to upgrade
   equipment cheaply.
3. Extra rigs at summer homes or cottages.
4. Just can't bear to leave a hamfest or swapfest without bringing
   home a new rig. It might as well be a Ten-Tec!

Thanks for all the replies. I suppose I've had something of a 
sheltered ham radio life, and with all the college and grad school,
I haven't had the financial resources to go through a lot of buy/sell
cycles with ham equipment. Hopefully that will change soon!
