[Bill Miner]

Hey Bill,

I feel that my Omni VI+ is like an old Jaguar sports car....  It looks
nice, when it runs it is a lot of fun to drive, it has a definite
"PERSONALITY", it gives me something to tinker with,  but you better
have a backup in case you need to drive to the parts store for repair
parts.

73,
Bill - K6WLM
