[Elecraft] OT: The Colpitts mystery

[Josh Fiden]

The barrier to entry certainly isn’t what it used to be, but that’s probably a good thing. If someone gets on the air and has fun (even FT8 hihi), I really don’t care if they can recite Ohm’s law or not. When they are interested, it’s as easy as picking up a copy of the ARRL Handbook. Doesn’t have to be an oral tradition. As long as I can call CQ and get an answer, things aren’t too bad!
