[TenTec] Enough OCF antennas evolution

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

My wife is a very fine artist and art teacher.  She would ask "what color 
would you like your dot?"    I've learned that a discussion on color in our 
house is always a loosing proposition on my part.

Perhaps Tentec should supply a small bottle of yellow, a small bottle of red 
and a small bottle of black paint with each product.  The user can mix the 
primary colors of red and yellow in some ratio and would have the orange uh, 
red dot color of their choice.  And if one insists, the black will cover any 
errors.  So you see, you can have your choice and always be correct.

Frankly I love the new products where the dot on the logo is replaced with a 
LED to tell the operator that something is taking place. Be it red, orange 
or whatever.

Thanks Gene
