Great story, Bob. I grew up in Huntington, WV, and took the exams on the
4 times a year visits to Charleston by the examiner. It was a long
narrow room in the basement of a federal building there, with 40 desks
and a center aisle. A paper tape and audio oscillator sent CW.
Applicants filed in, took the CW exam, and those who weren't in the
first two rows filed out, because the sound echoed through the room. I
failed there twice, finally passed it in Washington, DC in the office
there. My folks worked for the C&O Ry, and were able to get me a pass on
the mainline, which ran through Huntington to DC. I stayed overnight
with an uncle and aunt who lived there. I was 15.
I passed the Extra and First Phone in Cincinnati at the office there
three years later.
73, Jim K9YC
