Hey, Edtardo... tell us again about the amateur radio license you had
in
Ecuador. What was that call?

OK, tell us what tests you had to take. And can you provide a copy of the
license?


There was no test. Licenses for anything in Ecuador were "actas" on European
size legal paper. Of course I have not saved a ham license from the 60's (I
don't even have my first FCC 1st ticket) and probably most people don't.


But you had a copy of it on your website fairly recently...

Showing the name: David Frackelton Gleason



What I am saying is that most anyone who wanted a ham license could ask for
one and get it. There is no testing, just some fees and a "fee" for
processing. The limiting factor in Ecuador was that the average annual
income per household then was less than $1000 a year, and imported ham gear
could easily cost $2 thousand or more. Any "luxury" item had as much as 200%
of the CIF value plus foreign exchange charges, etc. Not many people could
become hams there.


You're full of ****!
