Apparently it didn't bother FCC for decades. But then again, they often focus
on the wrong things.

Before March 21, 1987, the Tech and General used the same written, called
Element 3. When they split that into two separate tests, the names were
changed
to 3A and 3B. A similar split took place back in 1967 when the Extra
written
(Element 4) was split into Advanced and Extra.

Etc.

Where you posting from, Jim?

Home, as usual.

There are three screen names on this account. One is used by other(s), one is
my call and this one is a "universal spare" based on my old call. For some
reason AOL is having trouble with NG access on my other screen name so I
switched over to this one for a while.

But I'm still me.
