[Elecraft] Fw: OT: FCC Exams

[Richard Fjeld]

Does anyone remember this?
I'd like to add one thing that I remember about taking my code tests from 
the FCC office in St. Paul, MN. They spelled common words with different 
letters.  They were names of streets, or buildings, etc. This was done to 
trip us up.  We had to write exactly what we copied, and not what we thought 
it should have been.  They called that 'plain language'. However, it was 
fair for all.

Rich, n0ce
