No, that's not known.

For about 10 years before the 2000 restructuring, (1990-2000), the
Advanced was available with only 5 wpm code if you had a medical
waiver.

It was also possible to get a "5 wpm Advanced" for about a year after
the 2000 restructuring, by the use of CSCEs.

So the possession of an Advanced license, by itself, is no more proof
of having passed 13 wpm than an Extra is proof of 20 wpm.


I'd momentarily forgotten the waivers when I made my previous post. My
ex-husband had severe hearing problems (both loss of hearing and tinnitus).
He passed the 5wpm and had medical waivers for the 13wpm and 20wpm.
