Ignore the intellectually challenged who send you flame mail, Bill...
I FIRMLY believe that we must support US manufacturers by buying their
product... and as 'paying customers' pressure them to do better, in those
areas where they don't measure up...
As TT sent you a wrong manual with your VI, I would certainly let Tom (VP,
Ten Tec, Inc.) know that a thousand fanatical (and free spending) contestors
are wondering why Ten Tec cannot do even that simple task correctly!
Compared to the rice boxes from the land of 10,000 knobs, my Omni VI is
fantastic...
Cheers ... Denny

Ken,
Wait until you see the calls and names these guys are going to use.
Better practice your ability to copy morse acurately if you want that
"winning" score to hold up!
At least this list of wayward 'guns' decided not to use straight keys as
originally proposed! That would slow the contest down a little...

Oh yeah I can see it now 2 pm EST 7.265 or so
K1EA: "So Frank hows your colon?"
W3LPL: Well Ken I was at the doctors on Monday you know and he said my
colon was OK ....... (blah blah colon blah prostate blahblahrectum) How
bout you Luis?
XE1L Well I've been eating a lot of roughage later and my doctor
says....(blah blah colonrectumprostatecancer blah) Tis is XE1L in the
group K1EA to get it.
K1EA Say Luis did you do something different? Your signal has dropped to
60 over.
Ad Nausium! Ever since I read this the first time I wondered what the
"Moldy contesters net" would have to sound like.
My appologies to K1EA, W3LPL, and XE1L if you guys weren't my heros I
wouldn't have picked your calls.
