In addition to that oscilloscope I mentioned, my dad's apparently going to give me a Ten-Tec Argonaut (505) and some other miscellaneous Ten-Tec stuff he's collected from the widow of a ham buddy of his who recently passed away.

Whether it works, and whether I will find a use for a vintage 1 watt transceiver, are TBD. But I guess I better make some room in the car when I go for a Father's Day visit next month.

Sad: Cable thieves steal $30k worth of cables from the #TenTec factory.

Sadder: TT owner vents his frustration with plump racism.

"Of course there is no help available from the government. I guess I need to be a Somali illegal alien and open a fictitious day care center so I can drive around in a new Lamborghini."

I've been asked why I repaired my 40+ year old #TenTec #OmniD #AmateurRadio #HamRadio rig. Take a listen & maybe, JUST MAYBE, you'll understand why. And like Jar Jar Binks, "Messa Speaks". #SSB

There's something nostalgic about #TenTec Rigs and a #virboplexBug #Vibroplex. With some TLC after 40 yrs. this #OmniD is still going strong. Thanks Alan #W2AEW @w2aew for all you do for the #AmateurRadio #HamRadio community. CW #MorseCode #POTA #parksontheair

After a year, got my #TENTEC #OMNID back on line. Need to replace chip for display. In the words of Golfer Lee trevino, "I'm back in the game again, Baby". #AmateurRadiol #HamRadio CW #MorseCode #POTA #Parksontheair #N8BB

During this frigid cold spell, I've had a lot of fun troubleshooting issues with my #tentec #OmniD. #amateurradio #hamradio is not always about the dits/dahs & other modes. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty.
