Plus, if he had half a brain, he would have upgraded to an Extra back in the late 60's, early 70's. It's sour grapes. I agree that a pre no-code Extra is more valuable than post no code but he missed the boat. My feeling is that my 20WPM Extra will always be worth more(to me at least) than a no code Extra. I've always felt that no code extras should sign /nc when in the Extra part of the bands.

Because with your 1968 Advanced you cannot go to the Extra Only Frequencies.

Why would I want to downgrade from my 1968 advanced to the new extra?
