[TenTec] Orion II

[Joseph A. & Ruth O. Ryan]

Think, folks!
The ad appearing in the Oct. QST was probably ok'd by Ten-Tec to be 
developed by their ad agency some time
in May, or possibly June....ads, especially full page ads, must be placed 
with mags like QST at least 45 days prior
to the PUBLICATION DATE, not the mailing date.
Therefore, this ad idea was probably sent to the ad layout people in the 
late spring.  the so-called Orion II wasn't announced until Scott's e-mail 
on JULY 20th.
