Here's how it went when I got into it...back in 1991-1992

No-Code : Written Exam (No code was introducted in 1991)

Novice : written exam and a 5 wpm

Technician : written exam

General : written exam, 13WPM

Advance Class: written exam

Extra Class: written exam, 20WPM


Recently they changed that and is followed

No code: No change

General: 5WPM and written exam (if you have taken your 5WPM all you had
to do is take the written exam for the general and your grandfather in)

If KC8GXW was a general (Ie had taken his written exam for his general)
then the FCC database would say Technician it would say general. The
fact is the FCC database says he is a old technician,

I didn't say I was a general, that's why I told you to read real slow. I
said that I had to take the General theory in the early 80's but I
didn't do 13 wpm code so I only got Tech. So you are wrong about the
know code.
So Toad, can you say you were wrong? We aren't talking about 1991.
Besides, what's an ex stock boy from Wally world know anyway!
