[TenTec] Orion flawless

[Kc9cdt at aol.com]

Hi all,
I just had a very exiting and very good CQ SSB contest with Orion, and my 
Alpha 91b.
Mind you I only have a wire antenna, but it was amazing especially on 15 and 
10... I was able to pick em out and other than a very few, contact every one I 
heard!

My score will not be competitive, as I only operated about 24 hours out of 
the 48, and I participated for the fun of it and to get lots of new countries. I 
had a ball and got lots of countries.

The Orion performed perfectly. Actually, I am on 1.369. No failures, No 
resets, and it was awesome for those crowded conditions!

Hope the rest of you (the ones that wanted to participate) had as much fun as 
I.
Who knows, maybe someday I will be a competitive contester? But I sure do 
have a lot to learn.  I learned a lot this week end and even though I know some 
folks don't like contesting (or contests) I believe that every aspect of Ham 
radio can be fun and you can learn something.
