[TenTec] 238 cost

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

I also noticed that the 238 had gone up.  I know costs for materials such as 
metals have increased (18 mos. ago I paid $15 per 500' of no. 14 solid 
copper for radial wire at home depot.  Now it is $24 for 500') due to China 
buying up metal like crazy and Katrina but I think there are other costs 
that have gone up also.   I'm sure Ten Tec has a benefit plan for their FT 
employees and I know for a fact that medical keeps gg up like crazy every 
year.  Just my hunch that ur dollars are probably paying for <insert major 
medical plan here> and after everything they have been through with orion 
they probably need it.
