Well, you should get it right. It has never been a first class Technicians license... Or ony class TECHNICIANS LICENSE. We who had to take the exams to get them knoww what they are/were. I still give exams for the General Radiotelephone License (GROL)from time to time. They were the First Class Radiotelephone License, Or Second Class Radiotelephone License. Oh By the way...Element Three which was the element required for the Second Class license,(Element Three and Four was required for the First)was a serious test of your knowledge of electronic theory. 73 AC0Y
