Yes, that's right. I took the Novice exam in May 1954 and the General
exam in May and June, 1955. both at the FCC in Detroit - flunked the
code first time around. Does anyone remember K8DX, long-time head of
the Detroit office of the FCC and a truly formidable figure (especially
if you're 14). Like other FCC figures mentioned here, I understand he
was a good guy, but after all, I was 14!

My memory is that it was a LOT later than that. I'd guess late '70s to
early '80s.
