[Milsurplus] Flying radio ops

[Charlie L.]

 "Was there any provision from the FCC for military radio operators who
knew code well to get an amateur license more easily and quickly? There
was and is a streamlined process for military pilots to get pilot's
licenses."

The only one that had some reciprocity was the 2nd Class Commercial
Telegraph Operator and Amatuer Extra which both had a 20WPM test, but code
credit was all that was accepted, the tech part, while similar, was not the
same, mainly due to totally different regulations.   Probably a lot of
modern hams have no clue what the older tests were like, but picking up any
of the 1950/60 License Manuals, by the ARRL, Ameco, Allied would be an eye
opener for most today, especially those who buy commercially made dipoles
and  coax with the connectors installed.
