I took my Tech and Advanced tests in Portland. I think I took the 13WPM
twice before I passed. I also failed my 2nd Class Radiotelephone license
(it was free and I didn't study enough and I failed by two questions). I
remember the main guy was George Wager, and there was a woman named
Sheryl who worked there who was exceptionally attractive. They were all
scary, but they were also all very nice.

I took my General at the FCC office downtown Portland in the late 60s. The
examiner was a tough and gruff staffer named Francis McCann. IMHO, he was extra
tough on 14 year olds, hi. You know my heart was racing when that series of V's
came through those headphones!

I took my Extra at the FCC in St Paul somewhere 1985-1987. It was about 6
months before the FCC testing ended. I wanted to get it out of the way before
the VE program started. Fear of the unknown, I guess. I worked as a VE early on
in the program. I've seen some abuses, but overall I think it is a great change
for us hams.

I'm pretty sure it was in the early 80's.

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