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
