[TenTec] Omni VII Price

[Mike Brown]

Hi Ron

Although my memory is lousy, I could just see that ad in my mind at over 
$2500. And sure enough I looked in the garage and found the June 98 edition 
of QST with an ad for the Omni 6 Plus for $2585, plus shipping and handling. 
I have been on disability from General Motors since '93, so new high dollar 
hf rigs aren't in my future making the same thing now that I made when I 
went out in '93.

73, Mike K9MI
