[Elecraft] K-1 4-bander suggestions?

[WILLIS COOKE]

I suspect that the FCC office could always give the novice test, but didn't have many takers when you could get the test from a volunteer in the comfort of his or your home.  Everyone knows that the examiners would kill you and eat you if you failed their test.  That is why there was so much fear of the office! At least it seemed that way from the fear shown by otherwise grown men.

I actually took the Novice exam in an FCC office in 1968.  I lived in
Gettysburg, where the FCC's amateur licensing office was.  Probably it
was an informal arrangement with the local ham club.
