[TenTec] Where is TEN-TEC today?

[K8JHR]

Phooey!                         :-)

Sis, Boom and (especially) Bah (Humbug) to any naysayers!  No party 
poopers allowed at my tail gait party!     ;-)

You miss the point.  As a "real" TT fan, I am totally immune to any 
argument based on logic or facts.  That mojo just "don't work on me."

(apologies to McKinnley Morganfield, a/k/a Muddy Waters....)   ;-)


So forget the odds.   A "real fan" roots for, and expects the best from, 
his favorite team no matter what the odds are.   Remember how bad the 
Mets were in the beginning.  The REAL fans turned out without 
interruption from the beginning all the way to when they won their first 
Pennant.

Negative statements have no positive purpose, and only serve to injure 
team moral and turn potential buyers away - and that, friend, ain't good 
for the home team.   Why be negative?  What good does that do?  Do you 
forecast failure because you plan to claim credit for being smart if it 
all goes wrong?

I don't have to make sense.  I am rooting for the home team in spite of 
the facts, no matter what the odds are.  Besides, it is out of our 
hands, either way.


[all said in good humor, I assure you!]     ;-)     ;-)

Go Team - Sis.   Boom.    Bah!      ;-)   ;-)

The Omni VI Plus is, in my opinion, a great radio that will do all that the non contesting and ego feeding amateur operator needs and would use.

There are Alpha  Amps out there that you might be able to get tubes for or may not.  I feel sure that if they are doing well, it is because they may build RF Amps for the medical or industrial field.

Lets talk about Alpha/whatever it is today and then maybe we can become more enthused about the marriage. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
