[TenTec] K2/100, Orion review

[John Farler]

Wonder how many angels will fit on the head of a pin??

Think it's time for a separate Orion list to save this
one for those of us not interested mainly in contesting 
and too poor to afford an Orion.

Or maybe the resumption of the "serious contests" soon will
solve the bashing of each other going on presently by some bored
"serious contesters."  I know they wouldn't spend all that
money just to operate a couple weekends a year......K4AVX



>& more & more & more, etc.........
