A similar story on my advanced, but with the opposite co-operation from
fcc. Unfortunately I am in the Kansas City district, even though I'm 400
miles from Kansas City and 200 from Denver. In 1988 I wanted to take my
advanced and wrote Kansas City and they basicly said they didn't want to
bother with mailing out an exam, I'd have to come to Kansas City. I
called the Denver office and the guys there were very nice, but told me
there was nothing they could do as I wasn't in their district. They said
they'd give me the test whenever I could get to Denver. I went in with my
brother and they let him read me the test. There were some diagrams which
I had to have one of the engineers read to me. The guy went away and came
back and said "I don't know what to tell you" and paused a long time and
he finally said "you passed."
