The first time I ever heard of TT was at a local club meeting, a few months
after receiving my first license in the mail. The club obtained (from TT I
assume) a video showing the new OMNI VI transceiver. I was duly impressed. I
had only seen Kenwoods and Yaesus to that point. Not long after, I hooked up
with an elmer who is a great TT fan. I've been sold ever since, but
financial considerations prevented me from purchasing one. That is until
now, I just bought a Corsair and am EAGERLY awaiting its arrival.
My points are as follows:
1. If TT still has these type videos available, obtain one and take it to
your next meeting.
2. Be an elmer to a new ham, it will make a difference to them.
3. Take some TT gear to Field Day, if possible. Bite the bullet and let the
newbies touch the radio.
OK, I'm done preaching now..
