[TenTec] fix OMNI V

[waltk8cv4612amos at att.net]

Use a WOODEN STICK ( we call them SPUDGERS ) to poke at each and every 
connector you can reach while listening to 40 M and hopefully it will 
identify it's self by FAILING ! Most of those small connectors are NOT 
SOLDERED but push in wire crimps ! A small screw driver can be used to push 
on the wire and seat it a bit deeper into the plug and hopefully clearing up 
the problem.

Good luck .............
