I remember in 1976 getting my novice ticket and the test was administered by the local club officers (same 3 guys who taught the class), but in 1977-ish I had to go to the FCC field office in San Diego (the closest one to me at the time) to take the General tests. I guess they could give novice tests but not much of anything else. I was young then and really didn’t concern myself with the details. ;-)
