[Amps] FCC Denies Expert Linears' Request for Waiver of 15 dB Rule; Long off topic reply

[Jim W7RY]

Novice was, as it is now an introductory and non renewable license
Technician was for VHF and above for those primarily communications.
General, was a step up in speed and electronics theory and circuits.
Advanced was another step up, primarily in theory and circuits
Extra was the top of the line in both CW speed, specialized
communications techniques, and circuit design.

I may have left a few out, but that's the way it was in the 60s, 70s,
and 80s


Indeed... the Advanced Class. A bit more frequency privilege than the 
General Class, but the same code speed as General, 13 WPM, but a more 
difficult written exam. I was an Advanced Class for many years! Until my 
friend Jay, WS7I talked me into taking the Amateur Extra Exam and 20 WPM 
code test... Which I passed on the first try.

The Advanced Class had most of the phone spectrum that the Extra did, except 
for 75 meters and of course the bottom 25 KHz of the CW band.

Thanks for the memories.
