[TenTec] Old timers...

[John]

Thanks, John,
I first met Al Kahn county hunting.  CW, if you can believe that. He was
using a Collins rig at the time and a Codax solid state one piece keyer,
an "8" then.  With that experience I believe he was thinking "Why can't the whole setup be
solid state and have breakin?" and thus Ten Tec  after he moved Electrovoice to TN.

Garland Jenkins - amazing, I think he was a genius on the older rigs.
Sent him an old Argosy to work on, and he went through it, lined up
the filters I wanted, and sent it back with full-page hand-written
note about it, it's condition, and what he had done.

A few weeks ago before the big sale, left my Herc II for repair, and it
was back in a week, good as new. I checked off service as one of the
great things about Ten Tec.

It becomes more evident DAILY that Al Kahn is dead, that Jack Burchfield  is
no longer  hands on, that Garland Jenkins, Larry Worth and many more guys
dedicated to Ten Tec and its' loyal Ham supporters are not on the staff.
