Someone help me remember. Didn't the FCC give out Techs as a
consolation prize if you only got five words in sequence? I'm
trying to figure out how John ended up with an FCC credit Tech.
After 1954 Techs were by mail order *only*. Before that they were before the
examiner (or by mail if the distance requirement was met) so I suppose the
consolation prize thing at the FCC office could have been policy then. I had not
heard the phrase though until some years later after the VE testing started.
