[TenTec] OMNI VI BDR on Crowded Bands

[John Rippey]

Curt, NU7R, points out how good OMNIs are to use on crowded bands. I agree.

However, some hams have pointed out over the years on this reflector that 
they have had trouble with OMNI VI's BDR when very nearby contest stations 
are running a kilowatt or more through major antennas. In that case, 
apparently, the Yaesu FT-1000MPs survive better--perhaps why they are the 
standard rig in multi-multi environments. I don't have any such problems, 
so this is not a concern.

Obviously, the ORION front ends are bullet proof.
