What was the code requirement for a General class license in 1967?
Why can't I get a dumbed down theory test that is commensurate with
the dumbed down, 5 WPM, code requirement?

The code speed was 13WPM. Sent for 5 solid minutes. You had to copy 1
minute of 100percent copy to have passed. After you demonstrated your
ability to send. This was in front of a FCC examiner, of course.

The reason you can't get a dumbed down theory test as you indicated, is
that the tests now are already dumbed down. So if you took the 1967 test,
it would be harder.
