[TenTec] dealer networks

[Mark Rauchfuss]

Hi OM,

Bill Slep died about nine years ago. His business was broken up & sold
off. His wife, Mary Jim lives near Merles Inlet, SC. Bill was a
decorated Korean War Veteran in the Air Force and has a full military
internment ceremony. He is buried near Merles Inlet, SC.

He was a great and dear friend of mine and I miss him a lot.

Mark,

Most recently (for dealers) I bought my Omni V from
Bill Slep in Otto, NC, in 1990. Never met him but
talked on the phone and exchanged written notes. Great
guy who I would like to have met in person. Wonder
what he is doing today.

Before that I bought my Omni D from Clegg in
Lancaster, PA. That was another great outfit as far as
manufacturing goes. Don't remember the date, but a
friend and I were trying out the ICOM 701, the Drake
TR-7, and the Omni in Clegg's showroom. We were
expecting to pick the ICOM, but wanted to try the
Drake since we both had had Drake twins and a TR-4
before that. Other than the oveall picture, the
biggest deciding factor was the receiver performance.

To our surprise, the Ten-Tec blew away the other two.
