I understand what you say here Jim, but I don't agree. If a person

go to the trouble of traveling to the FCC exam points.

You're assuming the person has a vehicle and a driver's
license. I already knew Morse code from Boy Scouts
but I had a heck of a time talking my parents into
taking off from work and driving their '37 Chevrolet
rattletrap six hours round trip to Houston just so I
could take the Novice exam when I was 14 years old.

But they did, didn't they?

I had a rough time talking my parents into getting me my first
radios. I had to convince them I was serious. Perhaps the same situation
existed for you?
