It back in the days when the F.C.C. gave tests. I passed the CW portion . The written part had topics about some things I never knew, such as acUHF Oscillator Triode Tube, I also recall a question about Sattellite operation. I failed the written part but left the room with an Advanced Class ticket. Ed W9ODR --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
