[TenTec] New $10K Yaesu HF

[James Duffer]

You have to remember that some of the posts are for "amusement purposes" 
only.

Stay with the list, you will soon learn to separate the "wheat" from the 
"chaff"

It is quite easy to be disparaging to one or groups, you may have done so 
yourself when you mentioned the "27 Mhz" group.  If you will recall in the 
early sixties this group did make some contribution to the antenna area of 
radio.

Enjoy & 73,
