[TenTec] Orion shipping

[BobK8IA@aol.com]

Received my Orion II last week. After I heard all the horror stories about 
UPS I emailed the factory and told them to send it either by Fed Ex or DHL. I 
have favorable experiences with both those carriers. Scott gave me a 
confirmation email and changed the shipping instructions.

He had it shipped 2 Day Fed Ex. It arrived here looking like it was just 
packed! In fact, if the box didnt have a small black smudge, I would have believed 
it was hand carried here.

They pack that radio very, very well. No doubt in my mind that it copuld 
survive a lot of mishandling.

Kudos to Ten Tec and Fed Ex.

The radio got its first baptism in ARRL CW DX Test last weekend. What a 
competition tool! Impressive.
