Using that logic, a PhD oral is an entry level exam - it allows entry into the ranks of those with PhDs. As far as I know, there is no governmental PhD class license and therefore no governmental ranks of those with PhDs. An amateur license is not a status symbol. Its only worth is the privileges granted. In the 1950's, generals, conditionals, advanced, and extras all had the same frequency privileges. Except that there were no advanced class licenses, and the extra was a prestige license. You don't seem to know much about 1950's ham licenses. You didn't know that Conditional was a General exam taken by mail. You don't know there were many Advanced class hams in the 1950's faithfully renewing their licenses. My Elmer was an Advanced licensee. Here's a quote from a 1957 ARRL License Manual: "Holders of Advanced Class licenses may renew them so long as they can comply with renewal requirements." -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

Like it was "killed" all through the 30s, 40s, 50, 60s, etc.? Code was required, as was drawing schematics. Yet there were more hams every year than there were the year before. You have a strange concept of "kill". Following your line of reasoning, skill with buggy whips should be part of the requirements for a driver's license. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

Klein, you said you were an OF. Any olde-fahrt ought to KNOW that silver-mica capacitors were color-dot-coded for about a quarter century. [look in the 1976 ARRL Handbook] Those flat cases were eventually displaced by dipped silver-mica. Paper tubular capacitors in molded plastic tubular casings were marked with color bands and were on the market for at least 15 years, maybe 20...until aced out by ceramic disc capacitors for general bypassing and coupling applications (by both tube and transistor architecture electronics). ANYONE with hands-on experience in electronics between 1950 and about 1970 would KNOW that. [okay, folks, looks like there's another imposter here...at least this one isn't trying to pass hisself off as some marine NCO...:-) |

Hazing is something entirely different. hazing is in the ye of the beholder No, words have actual meanings sometimes. do you have anything cogent to say? Cogent in your eyes, no, since you and cogency have never met. |
