[TenTec] Ten Tec Pegasus

[Roger Hughes]

I had a Jupiter get tagged from a direct hit to a transformer on pole 
several houses down. My insurance replaced it as uneconomicly repairable. 
Replaced with 3 year old Jup1ter from Ten Tec. The Jupiter or Pegasus with 
the n4py software is hard to beat.   73, Roger, w4iv         Music City Tn.
