even hotter than it is. when i worked in educational TV, in the early 1960s, you had to strip down to no more than underwear to work in the technical room it was so hot from all of the tubes.

An Amateur Radio Extra is the highest class of amateur radio license in the United States, granting operators full privileges on all frequencies allocated to the Amateur Service. To obtain this license, individuals must pass a 50-question written exam covering advanced electronics theory, operating practices, and regulations.

This straight from today's website

@HumanEarth is it equivalent to the ham radios of the 50s and 60s?

Yes, bit today's ham radio exam is nothing like it was 40 years plus ago. In my eyes, its a cake walk compared to what I had to learn to get my novice license ham radio license back in the day
We'd use a LOT MORE electricity!

Warmer, a lot warmer, slower to start and process information/data, simpler to fix/repair and less prone to EMP damage.

Not enough room on the planet to accommodate a tiny fraction of our computing needs.
