Got my 1st Class Radiotelephone at the Atlanta FCC field office in May, 1979. On my Sweet Wife's birthday. Only missed 2 questions. No, they don't tell you your score, but I could see the top of the young lady's pencil while she scored my test.

"Only missed 2, didn't I?" to which she only smiled.

Then in 1981, again at the Atlanta FCC office, I passed the Technician on the 2nd try. You see a CW operator I am not. Then a few months later took home the Advanced, but kept the tech call of N4FIG. By the mid 90's I was tired of it, and the FCC issued me KU4OJ.

I was never a Novice and never a General. Morse Code went away and I passed the Extra at a VE session. Kept the 2x2 Advanced call because they weren't being issued anymore and it marks a place in history.
