Not a lame excuse. When I took the General Class test in Houston in early
1961, the room was full of all types.....old guys mostly and a few of us
youngsters (I was 17). The examiners ran the tape for the Extras and most
passed with ease. Then , it was our time. The tape starts and many of us
look at each other saying, "What's that, including me!" The pitch was so
low, obviously not what many of us were use to. The examiners stopped the
tape, scanned a few papers and then cranked up the pitch. The test was rerun
and all of us were much happier. I think only a few flunked and had to wait
a month to try again. The rest of us were happy and went on to the written
test! Pitch did matter in this case of about 50 people taking the test.
