[TenTec] Orion 1 & 2 "Talk Power" problem

[Ron Castro]

That may be true, but creating the QRM needed to get out in front is fair 
play, even though on the surface, it may not sound that way.  Just like in 
sailboat racing, it's a fair tactic to pass upwind of your opponent to "take 
the wind out of his sails", and in motor racing, drivers position their cars 
to keep anyone from getting around them wherever possible.
