The tests were a joke, I passed the first class
comercial (all elements on one morinig) when I was
about 21 years old. That was around 1971 or so .
Study guide was a book that was given to me by a
friend that was about 10 years old. I had never seen
a TV transmitter and would not know what to do with
one if I did. I thought I wanted to get into
servicing 2-way radio but never did. The First Class
test was about a dollar more to take it if I remember
correctly. That extra buck was the only reason I took
the first class. Well, it was about an hours drive to
whre I had to go to take the test.
I don't know how they are now but if they are like the
ham exams then anyone that has half a memory could
pass them.
