Unless a medical waiver was obtained, in which case the Extra could be had for a code test of as little as 5 wpm. The "modern" Extra class license was added in the 1951 restructuring that also added the Novice and Technician class licenses. The code test speed for the Extra was set at 20 wpm at that time. That's kinda funny. The "modern" Extra is, therefore, 54 years old. How long did the pre-modern Extra exist before 1951. Or even better, how long did radio as a practical medium exist before 1951. Heil, quit being the snotty lil kid trying to turn tables. That makes YOU look dumb. I took all the test elements for a First 'Phone 49 years ago. I've seen the test elements for an Extra of that time. Where? Back then those test elements were only given by FCC examiners. They were not legally available to folks like you (outside of FCC). The legality of the availability of actual test info has never been proven either way. Bash made the info available and was never challenged. The FCC let it all go by which isn't proof absolute that it may or may not have been legal, but the absence of action ultimately made it legal over the long haul. Cheers, Bill K2UNK |
