[ARC5] US Morse Exam History...Commercial versus mateur (OT)

[Jim Wiley]

Not true.  If you have an Extra class that was originally issued before 
the advent of 5-WPM code for the Extra, all you have to do is show the 
examiner the license (or a copy) showing the original issue date.  Since 
your license was originally from 1978, that will do the trick.


On a related but slightly different topic, I would be interested to find 
out how many of us on here do happen to have either a first or second 
class telegraph ticket?   Mine must be one of the newer ones, having 
received it about 2 years ago.  My Extra is from 1974, and I was 
originally licensed as a Novice in 1959.


I used KPH out of San Francisco for code practice.  Their nightly recap 
of the day's news, sent at (I believe) 24 WPM, made for excellent 
practice, and because it was the day's news, checking for correct copy 
was pretty easy. .
