I'm inclined to go along with the crowd on this one........... About all of the operators I know are 60+. Myself included.

And for the memories of the FCC examiner.............. I took my First Phone Commercial test at the old Federal Court House in Miami in 1963. Now that (and the Second Class element) was a test. Drove down from Sarasota the night before the test and was plenty wrung out for the drive home afterward.

I recall that the only way of knowing if you passed was to wait for the letter from the FCC. When I opened that envelope and saw that First Class Ticket it had to have been one of the better days of my life. HI Hi
