WOW, solid-state in 1962? Now that's radical! I wonder if the FCC examiner 
even knew what it was, or whether it was right or wrong? The only solid-state 
question I can remember on my 1963 General exam was something about if the 
arrow is pointing toward the base, is it an NPN or a PNP? Something real 
technical like that...

Think I had to draw a Colpitts oscillator, too... Or was it a Hartley? It's 
all kinda hazy now... I do remember having to draw a pi-network output.
