Tell me, what do you as being so difficult about amateur radio that would
make the test difficult, perhaps I am missing something? What relevant
and complex details are missing from the exams?

It may just have to do with the abundance of technical materials where
were available to me in my past. Or, perhaps it was my interest in all
things technical--but there didn't seem to be that type of mystery, magic
or difficulty involved in electronics or radio ...

I think that may very well be the case. I've had occasion to teach ham
radio classes to people who have had little or no math beyond basic
arithmetic. I've taught people who have no technical background or exposure
to electronics or radio. If all you ever had was a general science class,
the ionosphere is a big mystery and so on. There are lots of hams from all
backgrounds and callings. Our club includes members who are truck drivers,
housewives, nurses, waiters, construction workers, etc. as well as
electronic technicians. Maybe you should do as you have said to me: You
need to get out more teasing and tongue in cheek.
