The frequency congestion problems on the 72 MHz band were exactly what caused me to obtain my amateur radio license (ham). I had no intention of speaking with people on the radio. But, one thing leads to another and two and a half years later I realized that I had taken and passed all five ham license tests and had even learned Morse Code at 20 words per minute. Today there are only three license classes, all electronics theory has been dropped (boo) and the Morse Code requirements have been dropped (double boo). Anyone remember the rock group Devo? They were right.

Oddly enough, I have discovered that six meter R/C gear is still very popular and easy to sell, even with 2.4 GHz spread spectrum gear now being common. Yes, I have all of the bands in my inventory. You never know when... 8&gt

Those are great pics. Thanks for posting them. I loved that metallic green dope. Beautiful.
