You don't even need a license to operate WABC-TV, AM or FM, now!

The GROL is so useless, they decided only marine and aviation techs
needed it, now.

My 1st Phone with Radar Endorsement hangs in a nice frame over my
desk. My GROL they shoved down my throat to replace it is hidden away
in a drawer to hide my shame of the licensed broadcast technician's
demise.

Credit is easy. FCC GIVES you the question bank and all the answers
so the "less fortunate" can pass it, now. When I took my test,
questions began with "Draw" or "Discuss" or "Explain". There weren't
any multiple guess questions to memorize the answers. If the FCC guy
didn't like your looks, YOU FAILED.....(c;

If you didn't LOOK like an FCC technician, they certainly weren't
going to give you a license, either!

Yep!
Back in the early fifties, I got a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's =
Permit,
so I could work as a dispatcher.
Later, I needed that permit as an airplane pilot.
In the early sixties, when I got my First-Class Commercial =
Radiotelephone
Operator's license, they *cancelled* my Restricted Permit.
When they terminated the First Class 'Phone, that left me licenseless,
but pilots no longer needed the Permit for domestic U.S. aviation.

Fortunately, Canada rarely asks tourists if we possess radio-operator's =
licenses.
(Heck, the FCC no longer even makes us license our aircraft =
transmitters.)
