Try it after getting up at 3am to drive 5 hrs to the nearest FCC office
and set there in front of an FCC examiner. I managed it OK but the other
guy going for General was so nervous that when he was asked to send he
could only get out a string of meaningless dots and dashes. The exam
officer told him to go get a cup of coffee while he had me do my sending
test then come back and try again. He did make it, but just under the wire.
