[TenTec] Orion II Frequency Stability Progress

[Ron Castro]

We have an informal net every night on 3815 kHz.  No net control, no name, 
no specific topic, just a bunch of guy who get together every night.  Anyone 
can join in, but, anyone who breaks in who is more than about 20 Hz off 3815 
is politely asked to readjust their VFO.  Most everyone is +- 10 Hz or 
better.  I like to be among the "or better" group!
