OT: FCC Exams

Mike, W9QS
In the late 80's it was time to upgrade. I held a conditional for 30 years.  After lots of studing and code practice I made the trip to Chicago and took both the advanced and extra.  Had to take them in order: advanced, extra 20 wpm, and then Extra written.  It was a long day but passed all three.  I remember two questions on CW test.  Had to choose between physician and physicist.   I guessed right.  Antenna was also a 4 element wire beam. Those were the days.  Yes, they still used the tape machines and those WW2 headphones.
