Mine was the push-pull triode RF amplifier (not "linear"!), making sure
to show the neutralization circuit. They didn't want any high-powered
self-excited oscillators on the bands!

What was it with the FCC and the Colpitts oscillator schematic on the
exams in the 50's/early 60's? It was on my General ['54] and Extra
['56] exams, and practically everyone else I've asked says it was on
theirs too. There are other oscillator circuits of the day. Colpitts
uses capacitive feedback which is somewhat more stable than a Hartley
with its "Tickler Coil," but the FCC seemed fixated on the Colpitts for
some reason. The schematic and operation of a dual-triode 1-shot was
also popular.

As for the licensing tests, did you have to draw a Colpitts
oscillator? IIRC, that was on my General exam in 1955.
