[TenTec] end of an era

[Steve Sloane]

The era will end only when we run out of hams or run out of that old 
fashioned courtesy and ham spirit that makes this hobby fun. Yes, I guess 
real knobs and VFO's will be disappearing but I sure hope nice, decent folks 
stick around because I need this hobby when I retire....I might well end up 
being the last 520S on the air but not all of us are smart enough to work an 
SDR rig although the ones I have heard sound pretty good.  Just my two 
cents, 73's to all, Steve, KU3S
