[TenTec] The Unique Eagle

[Kris Merschrod]

Stuart has a point,

I have a Delta II with 48 memories and I have not had enough favorite places 
to go to fill them (and I have dedicated five to the 60 meter band).  I 
confess that I am impressed with the LDG ANT Tuners with 16k memories (now 
out done by MFG of course), but then again I remember 80 column punch cards 
and still use them as note cards for things that I need to remember.
