[TenTec] OCF antennas evolution

[Gene]

That dot is absolutely, positively Red-Orange.

Wait.  No, it is Orange-Red.

For sure Red.  Darn it.

On my 565 Orion it's just a black circle.   Does that have any significant 
meaning?    Oh man.  Now you did it; I will not sleep at all tonight.

Seriously, it is Orange.   I mean Red.  (sigh)

Ok maybe Bob McGraw knows for sure or we need a TEN-TEC historian to answer 
and a final answer documented in WIKIPEDIA, hah hah.

Bob,

I too agree it's time to kill this one.

I have learned a lot. And I promise I'll get a 1:1 balun and a short hunk of 
coax for the connections to the 260 foot doublet I plan on putting up.

Like I said, I have a major antenna project going on.

50 foot tilt over universal aluminum tower (Big hole with 6 cubic yards of 
concrete)

DX engineering hex beam

double bazooka for 40
another one for 30

a alpha delta plain jane 20 meter dipole

six meter dipole

and the 260 foot doublet.

And the OCF dipole will remain, untouched, in the only tree in the yard.


If it doesn't rain today, I'll use the winch on the jeep to lift the tower 
into place.

In the mean time, is that 'dot' on the Ten Tec logo orange or red?

Mike, Wb8vge
