I forgot it all the second I learned I passed the exam!

"NO!!! I passed! I'm doing a brain dump the second I walk out this door!"

You must be so proud.

As a matter of fact I was, do you have a point or just being a troll?
If it is the latter, might I suggest Facebook? It is the perfect platform for that type of behavior..

Hello, Mortar!

Replying to a message of Mortar M. to Rug Rat:

You must be so proud.

Last month's meeting, we had one of our members who is the East Coast regional sales director for Bendix King, a high-end radio manufacturer, take and pass his Technican test on a whim. I am a VE for our club and I dared him to doi it. We do not charge test fees so he took it...and passed. LOL

We give him a hard timr now about being an "accidental ham".

He was able to get BK to donate a special system to us that allows club members to usxe both our 2 meter and220 meter repeaters over the Internet. The system is called InteropONE if you want to look it up.

I am an ARRL-accredited VE with the Laurel VEC out of Laurel, Maryland. It's one of the oldest VEC groups and they do not charge a test fee for any amateur radio license test.

Sean,

I am an ARRL-accredited VE with the Laurel VEC out of Laurel,
Maryland. It's one of the oldest VEC groups and they do not
charge a test fee for any amateur radio license test.

I want to say that the Laurel VEC has now accredited a VE Team
with Courage Kenny Handi-Hams...so they can do exams at their
yearly fall radio camp.

I record the monthly audio transcript for the visually impaired
of the Journal of the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA).
It takes about 8 hours to get everything done, but I know that
many blind and visually impaired hams enjoy this. I started doing
it just over a year ago, when the last guy (who had done it for
several years), retired.

Having had poor eyesight much of my life, I know what a benefit
this is.

73,

Daryl Stout, N5VLZ, QCWA VHF+ Net Manager

... I watch what I eat...from the plate to the mouth.
