Hi guys and gals,

Until recently, most of the Ten-Tec groups were located on Yahoo!Groups.
Ongoing problems with Yahoo this past year has motivated us to move the
groups to a new home.

We have moved the following groups to "Groups.io":

>> OMNI VII:  https://groups.io/g/TentecOmniVII  / Group Owner: K4TAX;
Moderators: N4QEA & DJ0IP

>> EAGLE:  https://groups.io/g/TenTecEagle  / Group Owner: DJ0IP;
Moderators: K4TAX 

>> Argonaut VI:  https://groups.io/g/TentecArgonautVI   / Group Owner:
K4TAX; Moderators: N4QEA & DJ0IP 

Groups.io is a relatively new Groups provider and uses a more modern
software than Yahoo.  It has additional features that Yahoo did not offer,
AND more important, you don't have to have a Yahoo email account or any
other "required" email account to participate.  Any valid email account will
work.

You don't have to be an owner of one of these radios to join the group.  All
you need is an interest in the radio and the discipline to behave yourself.
(BTW, I have to struggle with that last requirement - hi)

We do require two things:
1) All people applying for membership state their full name and call sign.
2) All members sign each and every post with their call sign and name (or
handle: i.e., "Doc").

This second requirement is easy to do, due to one of Group.io's advanced
features.
Each member may edit his/her profile and create an electronic signature that
is added automatically to each post they make.
The e-signature is only added to the posts you make within the group, not to
any other emails you create and send.

BTW, SWL's without a call sign are also welcome, but in this case we will
have a brief email exchange to assure it is an SWL and not a SPAMMER.
Just send us a membership request and write a few words about your interest
in the radio.
