Bob reminded me of how long that wait was for the Novice ticket back in 75/76. It was about 10 weeks for me. The Jr. High was just across the street and I ran home everyday at lunch to get the mail. Finally it arrived! QRV! 73 David A. Norris, K5UZ Director, Delta Division Sent from my iPhone

Wow, deja vu all over again. That's the publication I used when studying for my trip to the SFO FCC office at 323A, Customshouse, San Francisco. That was ca March 1952. It took until July 12 for the license to show up in my mail box! Thanks for the memories, Tom!

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...
