I have heard such statements as that about the FCC testing and the way it was done. I have also heard how easy it was to get a license back then not like today where you have to have photo proof (3) pieces in hand to even take the test. Not like when the FCC gave them a DL and old license was given to someone to take the tests for them friends, brother-in-law or a paid for the task. It was a common event because on a lack of identification that we have in testing now.
Just another good reason that it's been done away with to have stopped that abuse. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 1:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] FCC exams On 8/28/2012 10:36 PM, Bill Tubbs wrote: > As I started to enter, the door was pulled shut from inside and locked. And I was denied entrance to the exam. I was literally almost across the threshold of the door. You can't imagine how PO'd I was. I hope you will remember that experience the next time you're tempted to take a hard nosed, arbitrary approach to a person or a problem. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
