[TenTec] Omni 6 plus chirp on 30 meters

[Malcolm McLeman]

Can't disagree with that Gary.
I was running a Corsair-1 when I bought the JST135 and at that time was into 
Clover demanding a high degree of frequency stability which the Corsair 
could not handle but the 135 did comfortably from immediate switch on and 
still does.
