Most VE's send with the farnsworth method -- character speed is 12 to 15 WPM
with spacing to make the overall 5 wpm

Again give us your city and state and we will get you in touch with your
local examiner who can answer all you questions with a phone call (local)

Now I am confused. If I take the tech, I can only upgrade to General is
I
do it
within 1 year? Otherwise, I have to retake the tech?


You can take the tech test and the general test and the extra test
together -- all in one test session if you want.

If you get a Tech license first (code or no code) -- you can take the
general test and extra any time - no time limit.

However if you obtained a no-code Tech license -- you have to pass the
code
test when going for general or extra

If you pass the code test but fail the written test -- you have code
credit
for a year. I think this is right, if not will get back to you here.

Let us know your city and state -- we will try to put you in touch with an
examiner with a telephone number -- you can clear this all up with a
single
phone call.



Do you know what speed the morse test is given at?
