You're a bit early. The Novice was the entry level license at that time. Technician was the consolation prize for passing the General exam, but failing the 13wpm exam. Which still granted one the Novice privilege. Someone earlier posted that when the Novice upgraded he lost Novice priviledges. Not so. |

There was a time that people had to hold a separate Novice license and a separate Technician license to participate in the privileges of both license levels. It was before my (ham) time but I've read about it in some book or another on the history of ham radio. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
