[TenTec] [TenTec_Eagle] THE ORLANDO QUESTION

[Jim Lowman]

I'm sure that it has to do with the economy.   All costs considered, 
it's very expensive for companies to send representatives and equipment 
to the various conventions and hamfests.
Some years ago, before Scott moved on to Vibroplex, I asked him about 
attending our convention in southern California.  Even then, he said 
that Ten-Tec had made a business decision to attend mainly Dayton in the 
future.

I have to hand it to Elecraft, though.  They go all over the country to 
promote their products.  It doesn't look like they'll be at the Yuma 
Hamfest, though.  Probably not enough hams in attendance to warrant the 
time and expense.
