[TenTec] SKN results.

[Martin, AA6E]

I also dived in for my first SKN.  Great fun.  It was kind of weird
running the Orion and talking to a fellow running a Heathkit DX60. 
Talk about a distinctive signal!  A slight chirp and kind of
"shimmering" keying - RF slow to cut off on key up?  The Orion has
much less character.  Usually, that's a good thing!

Maybe I need a boatanchor for next year's event.
