[SOC] The ARRL Handbook vols. 1-6 just for us old folks

[Joe Pontek Sr]

But, you forgot, the ARRL, made these moves in defense of what Wayne 
Green had proposed.  I do not remember the details
anymore, but that was way worse than what we ended up with. Myself, I 
bit the bullet early and passed the Advanced Class
test and the Amateur Extra Class tests (written & 20 WPM code) in 
Detroit, more out of I was just ready and hoped able.

So, I thank the ARRL for minimizing the pain and I lost nothing, even 
then, a long time operator.  But, now, a creaking older
time operator. B>}

Which also resulted in slowly diminishing numbers of amateurs. Then they were “anti-Bash Books” when their own license manual was poor (at least for the advanced class exam back in the day.)
