[TenTec] CW Tuning with Omni 6 Plus

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

This is why we need to go back to a Novice class. Get the basics with a basic rig. Then apply it to all the technology that we have today. Remember zero beating a signal with your old gear. Now that they have VFO's allowed, a Viking Ranger and an old Hammarlund could teach all this. Was it really that much simpler 40 years ago?
