I was joking of course. I'm just now packing my Orion to take to our remote
contest location for the IOTA contest tomorrow. Unfortunately I only have
one and the backup is a TS-850.

Actually, I only have one Orion. When I need another one for contest
weekends
I borrow the 565AT out of the visitor's radio room in the lobby for #2.
Backup rig, still have my Omni-VI Plus. It never gets used any more -
though we
did press it into service as the multiplier station radio when we ran
multi-single for
the WPX SSB contest back in March.
