Not a lame excuse. When I took the General Class test in Houston in early 1961, the room was full of all types.....old guys mostly and a few of us youngsters (I was 17). The examiners ran the tape for the Extras and most passed with ease. Then , it was our time. The tape starts and many of us look at each other saying, "What's that, including me!" The pitch was so low, obviously not what many of us were use to. The examiners stopped the tape, scanned a few papers and then cranked up the pitch. The test was rerun and all of us were much happier. I think only a few flunked and had to wait a month to try again. The rest of us were happy and went on to the written test! Pitch did matter in this case of about 50 people taking the test.
