I agree totally.
OK if there are any unwanted/ un-needed Orion II's just send them to me here
in VK. I'll give you $50 each for them.
I already have an O II and would like another so if you're fed up with your
O II send it over here, I'll look after it for you.
73, John de VK2XGJ
One of the reasons politicians try so hard to get themselves re-elected,
because they couldn't live under the laws that they have passed!
