[TenTec] Cleaning

[Rick Cochran]

Thanks to everyone for the good advice on cleaning the OMNI VI.

I spent some time cleaning up the rig today.  It was my Dad’s “baby” and he left it to me when he died several years ago in his 90s.  We were both big Ten Tec users.

Now that it’s cleaned up I’ll soon see if the matching power supply and rig let the smoke out or actually work.

Politics?  I’m in my 70s and not real healthy.  It disappoints me when someone gives me their unsolicited political views.  I don’t have the time left for it.  How did we ever come to the point where so many people politics is that important?

Again, thanks for the cleaning advice.

73s,

Rick
