[CW] Radiotelegraphy FCC License T License with attachments

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Rolfe,

I guess my information is old - not surprising, everything else is too!

You would need element 1 and element 6, you receive credit with the old
Extra exam proof of telegraph elements 1 and 2.
If you have a Marine Radio Permit, GMDSS license, or GROL (General
Radiotelephone Operator License) license, you get credit for element 1.

Question Pools and Study Guides

Examination question pools, with answers, are available for downloading
below.

   - Element 1 (pdf <https://www.fcc.gov/file/11789/download>)
   - Element 6 (pdf <https://www.fcc.gov/file/11791/download>)


Element 5 was very easy, but many failed because they didn't study it at
all.  What is the QTH - that is Latitude and Longitude of Balboa, Panama.
Many Q signals and telegram practices, all of which is outdated in the days
of satellite communications and per minute not per word charges.

Here's the FCC page.
