If all Yaesu makes is ham gear, 713 is huge by ham radio standards. In fact they must make other products because the ham market alone even world wide could not sustain that payroll. Ten Tec has no more than 50 employees and they are in other sectors of the electronics industry. And for ham radio, 50 is big. Most of your little ham businesses with 1 inch ads in QST are mom and pop operations. the ham market and all the little businesses that have come and gone over the years involves some great stories. rob / k5uj On Monday, February 5, 2007, at 02:54 PM, Keith Dutson wrote: > I think Yaesu is a small part of Vertex Standard >> -----Original Message----- > From: yaesu-bounces at mailman.qth.net > [mailto:yaesu-bounces at mailman.qth.net] > On Behalf Of David Thompson > Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 2:25 PM > To: yaesu at mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Yaesu] President of Yaesu >> 713 Employees Worldwide?
