The same day I took the test for General, I also took and passed all
requirements for a first class Phone with RADAR endorsement. The engineer administering the test told me if I wanted to take a really tough test, the amateur extra was the most difficult given by the FCC. Unfortunately at that time one had to wait a year to take advanced and two years to take the Extra. I would sure like to see them reinstate the time requirements so some of these young bucks could get a little seasoning before advancing. Today you can get it all in one day. Then armed with your brand new Extra; proceed to E-Ham and ask questions in the Elmer conference that could be answered by an old time novice. "Ham op" wrote in message ... The required level of knowledge for a license today is significantly poorer than 40 or 50 years ago. |
