[TenTec] 238 stock status

[Ten-Tec Inc. Amateur Radio Sales]

Good morning!

I've been reading the reflector mail over the last 24 hours, especially 
the comments re: the 238 antenna tuner.

We are out of stock on the tuner at the moment.  Ten-Tec is 
currently running a two page color advertisement in QST and 
CQ magazines which includes the 238 antenna tuner - this is 
the first time we have advertised the tuner in the ham mags in 
many years. 

We had a result from the advertisements that I would not have
predicted, but in retrospect should have seen coming:  that the
sales of the tuner spiked higher after the ads appeared.  Which,
unfortunately for our customers, and for us has left us short on
available units over the last three months.   We have a 4 week
backorder at present.  

Also wanted to say thanks for all the good PR that owners of our
equipment have shown here and other places on the Internet.
It's greatly appreciated.  We read every single message that comes
through and I can't even count the number of times we've had
a conversation at Ten-Tec that has begun with "Did you see the 
comment on the reflector about....." - this morning was no exception.
