[TenTec] (no subject)

[art davis]

I hope elecraft keeps going if for no other reason to keep pushing TT to bring out new products. But TT is a very diversified company with ham radio being a small portion (less than 25%) of the total income. On paper anyway, I would think TT should be more bulletproof than Elecraft in a shaky economy.
