if you did the general theory it would say general

You're mistaken.

The original Technician written examination, up until 1981 if memory
serves, was the exact same test as the General written examination.

Technician licenses granted before March 21, 1987.

If you passed the written and 13WPM you became a General --- if you
passed 5WPM you became a Technician. If you failed the code test you
came back in 30 days and took the whole thing over again, with no credit
for having passed the written.

Life's a bitch and then you die and they give all your toys away.

Here's how it went when I got into it...back in 1991-1992

No-Code : Written Exam (No code was introducted in 1991)

Novice : written exam and a 5 wpm

Technician : written exam

General : written exam, 13WPM

Advance Class: written exam

Extra Class: written exam, 20WPM


Recently they changed that and is followed

No code: No change

General: 5WPM and written exam (if you have taken your 5WPM all you had
to do is take the written exam for the general and your grandfather in)

If KC8GXW was a general (Ie had taken his written exam for his general)
then the FCC database would say Technician it would say general. The
fact is the FCC database says he is a old technician,

I didn't say I was a general, that's why I told you to read real slow. I
said that I had to take the General theory in the early 80's but I
didn't do 13 wpm code so I only got Tech. So you are wrong about the
know code.
So Toad, can you say you were wrong? We aren't talking about 1991.
Besides, what's an ex stock boy from Wally world know anyway!

All such a very old Tech licensee would have to do to
upgrade to "general" was to show a VE his old license.
It wasn't automatic, as the FCC didn't keep records
that far back before 1987 (when they stopped having
the general written test for techs). Later the FCC
dropped the code for techs.

I was such a very old tech, and I decided to lock in my
new privs by doing the upgrade. While I was at it
I took and passed 4A and 4B (this was a few months
before the restructuring rules were to kick in but
after they announced it), held onto the CSCEs and
cashed them in at a special VE session held early
morning Restructuring day. I was in the FCC data
base the next week as a newly minted extra. Oddly
enough, in those stats someone posts here from time to time,
I'd be included as an old extra as I was in the database
before his cutoff date of May 2000. (Oh, if you look
up my call at the FCC web site, you'll find a Dec 2000
date, because I moved QTHs then). Kept my old "novice"
style callsign (2x3).

Sure you are. You're broadcasting on 20 meters and too stupid to
pick a frequency on 2 meters that is in accordance with the generally
accepted band plan. (Please don't give me that silly business about
