[TenTec] Re Please tell me about the TT Omni VI+

[w3zd at att.net]

Scott:
I've been reading most of the flap but that is NOT why I am sending this to you.  I just wanted to thank you for making sure I had a really nice Omni VI opt 3 to pick up Friday morning and also thank the entire gang at TenTec for a very nice hamfest this year.  I have heard several comments from others expressing they were also happy with the show.

The Omni VI you put my name on really looks like it had never been used at all!  I worked a guy in 6 land on 18.120 Friday evening and then tried out the cw end.  Fantastic!

I have used all the other "big 3" ans perhaps the best of those was the old Kenwood TS-180S I had for quite a few years.  The Omni VI is doing a really good job for me and I'm sure when I hook it to a good antenna that it will really impress me.

Thanks again
Clayton W3ZD
