[TenTec] YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ANSWERS!

[John Occhipinti]

Due to the manyTEN-TEC radios that are on the air, which includes newer models and many older models, we feel it is now necessary to focus on questions and concerns during the TEN-TEC nets.

Because of the wide area of coverage that we have on both the 20 meter and 40 meter nets, this has been a real challenge. The 20 meter net covers the entire West Coast to the entire East Coast and the 40 meter net covers all of Canada, the entire East Coast from Maine to Florida, all of the states in the Central Time Zone and also Texas and the surrounding states.

There are many new TEN-TEC owners who have questions and concerns and a quick observation shows that most of them have never checked into either of the TEN-TEC nets, where many knowledgeable people regularly check in and are available to answer questions one-on-one.

There also are 4 other TEN-TEC Yahoo Groups besides this Group where questions and concerns can be addressed 7 days a week. Also, the TEN-TEC support team are always available to address questions and concerns by telephone.

If the focus of the TEN-TEC nets have appeared to emphasize only certificates, I want to aplogize and tell each member of the 5 TEN-TEC Yahoo Groups that the new focus will be on hearing from those who have questions and concerns about any TEN-TEC product and all anyone has to do is check into the net and ask.

Although I use a Quad on my tower for 20 meters and a Full Wave Loop for 40 meters and usually run the legal limit, it will be more important than ever for people to relay any stations that may be weak at my Atlanta Area location.Thank you for your patience and support.
