[TenTec] So much for that idea...

Well, ICOM was at the Breezeshooter's Hamfest.  Exactly one guy (a 9, I
neglected to catch his call).  So much for all the beautiful babes in the
t-shirts at Dayton...

No IC-7800, and no literature available on it either.  Reason?  "It was too
big and heavy for me to carry by myself" and "the specs aren't, well,
printed yet."

And I also asked, "why was it under Plexiglas?"  Because it was a $9k rig...
and they (allegedly) took it back to the hotel each night, and (allegedly)
had a plainclothesed armed security guard near it at all times.
