[TenTec] 28.5 band segment on Omni D

[Steve Mercure]

It looks like the Omni D was built between 1978 and 1980, about the time when I discovered 10 meters after getting on the air in 1976.  Way back then activity on 10 meters was centered on 28.600.  Those wee my last three years of High School and in the summer after finishing my chores on the family farm, Id listen on 28.600 hoping to hear some far off dx like ZS6JL (Jungle Lion).  That was before the novice license was given voice use and the entire band shifted.

I haven't been listening lately on 10 meters, but should things get going in a year or so, don't forget to listen again up there just in case.
