I also remember having to draw the hartley, colpitt oscillators. These guys
like Harrison have not done their research and frankly dont care about us. I
dont know how these guys got into the positions they did but I really
believe they are trying to ruin the ARRL and Amateur Radio. The thing which
is holding all this together is the clubs who are elmering and teaching the
code and my hat goes over to them instead of these guys at the league who
pontificate.
