[TenTec] ARRLWeb: ARRL NEWS: Scott Robbins, W4PA, to Purchase Vibroplex

[Ken Scheper]

Lets keep these to congratulatory entries, and not a diatribe on the 
logistics of company takeovers.  I wish Scott the best, and will continue to 
support Vibroplex, and Ten-Tec both.  His leaving will not deal the death 
blow to TT.  If it does, I have FAR under estimated the savvy that they have 
shown in past years.  If Scott had not picked up Vibroplex, it may have 
ended up in Timbuktu! I look forward to innovative Vibroplex'ing in the 
future!

Congrats, Scott ....
