[TenTec] Orion Challenge - talk

[Martin AA6E]

As mentioned here recently, I was invited to give a show & tell for the
Meriden CT ARC recently about the Orion.

I talked mainly about Ten-Tec the company, the "roofing filter" IMD
situation, and SDRs.  The slides are at
http://www.aa6e.net/aa6e/orion-MARC/OrionPresent-final.html.

The hands-on part of the evening didn't go so well, because we found
the bands were out and there was S9+ QRN most everywhere.  It did give
me a chance to check my NB button, which I rarely need at home... It
did a good job, but not good enough to bring the bands to life.
