The following is from the new owner of TEN-TEC: As some of you may be
aware, Dishtronix has purchased the assets (but not the liabilities) of Ten
Tec from RKR Designs. . I had desired to keep this under wraps until Ten
Tec is reorganized, but there is too much speculation concerning the
service department to continue without an announcement of some sort.

The Banbury Amateur Radio Society has made a donation to Katharine House
Hospice from the proceeds of the sale of an amateur radio operator's
equipment who passed away recently. Chairman John Manley said: "As always,
it is difficult for close family members to know how to deal with technical
possessions in these situations. It was on such an occasion that the
Banbury radio society was contacted by Mrs Hall for advice on how to
dispose of her husband Mike's radio apparatus (2E0MBJ) with the result that
a donation was made to the Katharine House Hospice with the proceeds of the
subsequent sale."
