[TenTec] Contest Data and Conclusions

[Tommy]

Of course I don't know about 'all' Orion's, but I was sent a spare 
unit to evaluate and it performed the same way. My Orion's didn't 
suffer 'nosebleed' due to any way I operate it. High speed QSK was 
not an option because as you know, until a firmware update, the 
Orion would not even key over 40 wpm..but that's pretty well fixed 
now and it does work 'ok' up to about 60 wpm. For the high speed 
stuff my Omni 6's seem to do good up to their limit. And besides 
Bill, how many contest have you ever heard anyone running 100 wpm ?

Best to you and your family for the holidays Bill.
