Just out of curousity -- what modern Ham gear uses a Colpitts oscillator or a swinging choke ?? Then why ask these questions on a 2005 Ham test ?? Maybe ask about a VCO or a crowbar circuit ?? You miss the point! Totally missed the point!! In the 'olden days', the exams were not multiple guess questions; and, they were answered in front of an FCC Engineer. In the olden days one had to commit to some real effort to get a license. In human nature we VALUE that which we work for or invest for. The crime in ham radio today is the 5 hour Saturday morning cram session followed by a VE session; followed by a license; followed by loss of interest in a year or so. I live in a small town with 14 licensed 'hams' with only one active [me] and only one HF station [mine]. IMO there is a significant difference between number of licenses issued or valid and how many hams are on the air. |
