I took my Extra at the FCC in St Paul somewhere 1985-1987. It was about 
6 months before the FCC testing ended. I wanted to get it out of the way 
before the VE program started. Fear of the unknown, I guess. I worked as 
a VE early on in the program. I've seen some abuses, but overall I think 
it is a great change for us hams.
