I get kidded all the time because I still use my white 27 mhz ACE radio. People think that it is a "vacuum tube radio"

Jerry,I used an Orbit vacumn tube tone 10 channel transmitter with a reed receiver and Bonner servos to control my White Heat 10,which I still run once each year.Boat is 45 years old.(radio is now up to date).Controlled first boat with an Aristrol( by Aristrocraft) vacumn tube single channel 27 Mhg transmitter which sat on the ground with a 9' antenna.Vacumn tube receiver sent its signal to a rubber band powered escapement.Now" that's really back in the day."
