Hello Tom -

A current reprint of that issue of that license manual

would make for a very interesting read - and it would

help demonstrate that the older tests were not

difficult for the entry class license. I remember

spending hours reading the license manual - while preparing

for my trek to school ; a journey that was uphill
both there AND back.

When you get questions from people about the current Technician "entry" level license, you might want to use the attached (partial) copy of the 1951 ARRL License Manual. It had information for both the (new) Novice license and the Technician. The portion attached is the front cover and the three pages devoted to the Novice. That was it...

Compare the 1951 Novice to the present 2 pound, 400+ question, 350+ page publication we have today for the Technician. :-)

Hope this comes through OK, the scanned pages make a pretty large file...
