Interesing chart . . . however to put some things in perspective . . . I'm a
piano technician . . . and several years ago there was a major piano
manufacturer by the name of Sohmer . . . from an engineering standpoint and
a furniture standpoint they made the most wonderful grand piano there was.
Engineering types looking to buy a family piano would go ape over these
instruments and just have to have one.  The only problem was, as wonderful
as the specs were and as wonderful as they seemed to be made, they played
and sounded like crap . . . so, not taking anything away from the other
manufacturers of ham radio equipment . . . there's more to it than numbers .

73 de Rick, WQ8Q   . . . having fun with his newly acquired Omni V in the SP
contest . . . with the
Pegasus sitting in the background awaiting his turn . . .
