It is true, the only sending test was the Novice Test in 1967. In 1976 at
Memphis, TN the Extra Test was receipt of 5 character groups with a certain
number of characters with no errors (I failed that one) several months later
it was to copy text and pass a ten question test that could be answered by the
text, this I passed. Never was their a test for actual sending. So I didn't
need a key, bug, buzzer with push back wire etc. I thought this was true for
the amateur extra class! Now the commercial FCC Telegraph Class I believe
required a sending test.
73, de Jim wd4(hot)air P.S. I was employed by the FAA as an electronic tech
(GS-856) at the time so I didn't even request a special call, that one still
fit.
