I have a different question. A long time ago I was studying to get a technician class license. At the time it required 5wpm in code while a general required both more knowledge and 13wpm in code. I never got good enough to reliably get 5wpm, let alone 13.

I understand that all code requirements are now gone (except maybe the extra class - I am not sure on that). If this is true, is there any reason to not study and take the general class test instead of the technician? Or am I so far out of date on this that my question is now irrelevant?
