I passed the General test in 1957. I passed the 2nd Class Phone in 1958. On Saturday I took the Extra exam and passed it with knowledge gained in over 40 years experience as an EE,
I did not know the Satellite questions and a couple antenna chart questions so I did not answer them. I just looked through the question pool twice last week and I figured I knew the answers to at least 75% of the questions.
