[ARC5] An "Extra Class" Question:

[Bill Fuqua]

   At one time the theory part of the extra class exam was not much easier 
( it was shorter) than the First Class.
Anything having to do with modulation transformers had to be maybe pre-1970's.
They did not have published question pools way back but the license manuals 
did have examples that were close enough
for study.
