Item 1.
Security and Issuer
 
     
 
This Amendment No. 9 (the “Amendment No. 9”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of TESSCO Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 11126 McCormick Road, Hunt Valley, Maryland 21031.  This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 14, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on April 14, 2008, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on May 23, 2008, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on June 10, 2008, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on July 9, 2008, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on January 29, 2009, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on July 24, 2009, Amendment No. 7 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on February 2, 2010 and Amendment No. 8 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on March 5, 2010 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.  Except as amended by this Amendment No. 9, all information contained in the Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge and belief, true, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 9.
     
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
     
 
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
   
 
The total purchase price for the 680,092 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy as of April 25, 2010 was approximately $9,923,532, and the total purchase price for the 580,870 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Discovery Equity Partners was approximately $8,476,749.  The source of such funds was the assets of Discovery Equity Partners and another private investment partnership (collectively, the “Partnerships”) over which Discovery Group exercises discretionary investment management authority, including proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Partnerships with a broker on customary terms and conditions.  None of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons currently serves as collateral for any such margin loans.  The Partnerships are the legal owner of all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy.
     
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
     
 
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is also amended by adding the following as the eighth paragraph thereof:
   
 
On April 22, 2010, the Reporting Persons made a presentation to the Board of Directors of the Company relating to, among other things, the Reporting Persons’ concerns about the Company’s corporate governance practices and recommendations of the Reporting Persons to the Board of Directors concerning steps that the Reporting Persons believe would reclaim shareholder value.  The description of the aforementioned presentation of the Reporting Persons contained in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such presentation, which is included as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment No. 9 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5
Interests in the Securities of the Issuer
 
   
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
   
 
The information concerning percentages of ownership set forth below is based on 4,801,693 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding as of January 29, 2010 in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the period ended December 27, 2009.
   
 
Discovery Equity Partners beneficially owns 580,870 shares of Common Stock as of April 25, 2010, which represents 12.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
   
 
Discovery Group beneficially owns 680,092 shares of Common Stock as of April 25, 2010, which represents 14.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.
   
 
Mr. Donoghue beneficially owns 680,092 shares of Common Stock as of April 25, 2010, which represents 14.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.
   
 
Mr. Murphy beneficially owns 680,092 shares of Common Stock as of April 25, 2010, which represents 14.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.
   
 
Discovery Group is the sole general partner of Discovery Equity Partners and has sole discretionary investment authority with respect to the other Partnership’s investment in the Common Stock.  Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy are the sole managing members of Discovery Group.  As a consequence, Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock owned by both of the Partnerships, while Discovery Equity Partners shares beneficial ownership with Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy of only the shares of Common Stock owned by it.
   
 
There have been no transactions in Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.
   
 
No person other than the Partnerships is known to any Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
     
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
 
     
 
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
   
 
There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between or among any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company other than the governing documents of Discovery Group and the Partnerships, the margin loan facilities referred to under Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, the Joint Filing Agreements of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Schedule 13D that were included as exhibits thereto, the Joint Filing Agreement of the Reporting Persons with respect to this Amendment No. 9 included as Exhibit 2 to this Amendment No. 9, and the Powers of Attorney granted by Messrs Donoghue and Murphy with respect to reports under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which Powers of Attorney are included as Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4, respectively, to this Amendment No. 9.
