[TenTec] Fw: Orion favored by top DXer's for antenna testing

[Tommy]

You have to be joking?

ON4UN maybe, but what about KC1XX, N3RS, W3LPL and the rest of the 'big gun'
contesters who bought and then got rid of their Orion's? I actually
purchased my Orion to use on the ham bands and certainly not to be used as a
so-called 'precision test' gear. As much as the Orion's power output varies,
it is a far cry from being any sort of 'precision test' gear that anyone
with design lab experience would have on their bench.
