The excitement is building as Orion and Orion II owners anticipate the arrival 
of the first firmware update for their fine rigs in nearly two years.  Never 
mind the Oscars, the Grammys, or even the Pulitzer, this 'red-carpet' event has 
hams around the planet repeatedly aiming their browsers at the Ten Tec 
Downloads page to see if anything new has shown up!

The recent e-mail that the beta testing was finished and that the factory 
planned a release by the end of the week, plus an observation I made a couple 
of years ago that most previous releases came on Fridays, has us all 
anticipating the big arrival.  If it does come tomorrow, it would be well-timed 
for the start of the  ARRL International CW DX contest, a perfect place to put 
the new code to the ultimate test!

This time tomorrow, will we be jubilantly ruling the bands, sporting the "K3 
killer" code, or will be be tossing and turning in our beds thinking "maybe 
next week..."?  Join us again tomorrow for another exciting adventure of "As 
the Tuning Dial Turns"!
