Jeff, where do you see, in that article or *anywhere*, that the Amateur
Extra provided additional privileges?



If anywhere in that history, you want to point a finger, it would
be the restructuring in 1951 that resulted in disincentive licensing
where a majority of General class licensees decided there was NO point
in upgrading.


You had originally used the word "always," and that is the part that got
my attention.


BTW Howard, I know you're now up near the 'toga, but did you live in the
Schenectady area before going west? The name sounds familiar -- if so,
what was your call ca. 1973?
