[Milsurplus] [ARC5] AN-Ranges - engines.

[Mike Bracey]

I have a 1.5 HP Hercules hit & miss engine with it's original cart. My buddies and I like to drink a cold beer while setting and watching and listening to it run. It's a guy thing. All of the ladies think we are crazy. 

Mike, KE5YTV

Yes. I agree. And furthermore, the OT weren't dunces: just because it's OLD tech, does 
NOT mean it is BAD tech.

The modern attitude towards old tech tends to piss me off at times.
