And I suppose that took a lot of Morse code given the timeframe.
Back in my time (as we avoided stepping in dinosaur poop), there was a 5 wpm requirement for the Novice license, a 13 wpm requirement for the General Class, and a 20 wpm for the Amateur Extra. For my General Class I had to take both the code test and written exam at the FCC office in New Orleans (I rode the GM&O Rebel down to NOLA from Bogalusa).
Here I am as a 14 year old Novice ticket holder:

Started with Tech + ticket in 1989 (novice, tech, and 5wpm code), worked to Amateur Extra in 93.
Back then it was 5 written theory tests and up to 3 code tests @ 5, 13, and 20 wpm.
Did the Volunteer Examiner Coordinator m for almost 20 years while also teaching General/Extra classes... it's quite rewarding watching folks pass thier exams.

All I was doing was getting high and riding my bike when I was 14.
