I wouldn't consider memorizing the answers to the questions as mindless,
as there are more 'pool' questions than I'd care to memorize answers to.

I couldn't say, as I didn't take a HAM test until 1970...

Well, back in 1947, real men didn't have to study for tests, they just
knew everything and proved it to themselves.  Today, they're a little
smarter and study the sources given by the FCC/ARRL, to ensure that when
they do get license, they're not complete 'lids'.


.... Pioneer HAMs built their own gear and sparked themselves to death.
