Similar thing happened to me at a West Gulf Convention in Dallas in the early 
50's. After the CW testone or more claimed there was a fault in the letters. I 
had passed but. along with several others hadto repeat. Fortunately, I was 
prepared so passed it again and got my Class B and Class A.This thread has 
brought back lots of memories.

 FCC Detroit office, early 70’s.  The punch tape code sending machine had 
issues, very warbly.  I still passed.





They got a back-up machine out and let those that failed retake the test.  Not 
one of them passed on their second go-round with the replacement machine.  I 
guess you are either prepared or you are not.
