And even when AF6AY pointed out the story to
FCC in his Reply Comments to 98-143, FCC still
believed it.

You're right, Len! I was mistaken about that. My bad.
Apologies all around.

It was Leonard H. Anderson, a non-radio amateur
at the time, who wrote those Reply Comments to FCC.

There have been other verified stories about
young amateurs. Since 2000, a six-year-old has
passed the General, and a seven-year-old has
passed the Extra. Both stories in QST.
FCC had no problem believing either.

In fact that seven-year-old broke the previous record,
held by an eight-year-old who passed the old pre-2000
Extra, complete with 20 wpm code and five written tests.

All those young amateurs still have their licenses. They
haven't gotten into any problems with FCC.

I agree - it *is* wonderful.

Why?

How was it "settled", Len? FCC did not refer to your
Reply Comments at all.

* *Is it the usual "nyah, nyah" to be followed by a

No, Len - that's you projecting your own motivations
and mentality on others. Again.

I brought up the "age limit" thing because it has a
direct bearing on the VE system.

It would be interesting to see the reaction of the
VEs who administered your testing to your
accusations of "fraud" and "hypocrisy" aimed at
the ARRL and some Indiana VEs.
