[TenTec] So Orion can't hear?

[Bill Tippett]

         Don't think so...got the following from EI3GZ in
response to our Topband QSO last night (note his antenna!):

Dear William,
Hi from Ireland,just a note to thank you for the contact on top band last 
night only my second in the united states so i was very happy to make it 
across the pond. your signal was very loud and clear and i think band 
conditions were very good,hope it stays that way.

<picture removed>

The antenna here is a Helical mode whip which i scaled up from a 80 meter 
design, it is 15 feet long fed against 3 copper wires of 15 feet each.I 
have enclosed a picture of it .
All the best of dx this season,and again many thanks.

Yours in radio,
John o sullivan.
