[TenTec] Omni 6 plus chirp on 30 meters

[Gary Hoffman]

I have the same result.  When I come in the shack I turn on the radio right 
away.  Then by the time I'm finished fiddling around and getting things 
ready, its all warmed up.

I've sat and watched the waterfall after that run right in a straight line 
for many minutes at a stretch.  (Which shows I need to get a life !).

But it is very stable, all kidding aside.
