Kyle und Marc Small,

I received my ham ticket in 1945, but only because I needed one to 
operate a transmitter for
a radio controlled model airplane.  Model planes were large in those 
days, requiring a .60
cubic inch engine (Ohlson 60)

Which reminds me, do people collect the old model airplane engines?  I 
still have, squirrelled
away a few,  Atom .097, Bantam 19, Forster 29, Bunch Tiger Aero 35 and 
an OK Twin.  They
are all ignition type
