[TenTec] I miss my ORION

[W1GOR]

For those who leave their Orions home while traveling, I propose a
'surrogate' Orion... Perhaps an inflatable 'surrogate' in order to save
space and weight during your trip.   A small pocket-style tape recorder,
with the 'Best-Of-20 Meters' pre-recorded, can be installed inside the
'surrogate' Orion...  If you feel lonely, and have a strong desire to BOND
with your Orion, just inflate the 'surrogate' and switch ON the tape
playback... Your longings will gradually dissipate and you will be able to
sleep soundly... slowly drifting off to slumberland with the sounds of your
favorite radio in the background...

Your eyes are getting heavy...you feel sleepy...relax...just let yourself
go...listen to the sounds of your Orion...listen...listen...listen..."cq cq
cq de W1GOR, cq cq cq de W1GOR...anyone around for a good-night
rag-chew...this is W1GOR, standing by..." z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
z z z z z z z yawn z z z z z z z..........
