[Elecraft] FCC exams

[Scott Manthe]

The FCC stopped giving tests in 1984, not 1934. Every U.S. state had 
photo IDs in 1984, as did almost every college, most high schools and 
many grade schools. While there were abuses, and I'm personally aware of 
at least one, it certainly wasn't due to a lack of photo IDs. And it 
definitely WASN'T easier to get a license prior to the VEC system being 
in place.

You also need to understand that you can't require more ID than is 
required by the VEC, just because you're "in charge of the group." If a 
person has a valid photo ID, then you need to let them take the test.
