It's a shame they've dumbed down the exams so much that you don't need
to know anything to hold a ticket any more. Back when I got mine, even
the General Class was tougher than the Extra Class today - and it was
administered by the FCC, with no public question pool or cheat sheets.
You had to actually know something other than just memorizing a few
answers.

And at the time, the Amateur Extra was harder than the First Class
Radiotelephone.


I had my First Phone at the age of 22 back in 1972. Passed the 2nd and
first the same day on the first try.

And back at you on trying to teach someone that will not learn. Seems that
several on here think you are wrong most of the time.
