[TenTec] Ten-Tec market visibility

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

What you observed at the ARRL convention in Massachusetts is fairly typical 
of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. There are hundreds of small, 
empty buildings which housed shops of some description. The devastation to 
our economy has hurt many, many people very badly. Down in Gatlinburg there 
are whole motels with "For Rent" signs hanging out front. If you want to be 
a hosteler, now's your big chance.

If we work hard and get lucky, this economy may well turn around - probably 
with the speed of a turning battleship. If and when that happens, people who 
know Ten-Tec will be standing in line to get new rigs.

I wish you all good luck.
