Last week, our own Max (AI7LG) briefed us on how licensing works and especially the history and current operation of the VEC (Volunteer Examiner Coordinator) program. As a relatively new VE, Max had a great review of the topic and was able to present a lot of useful information.
We tried casting this meeting via Zoom, but had some technical difficulties. Because of that, we were unable to produce a suitable recording of the meeting. I will include a link to the slides here, though. I may be able to sync up the audio to a copy of the slide presentation over the next few days, but I'm not going to promise anything.
Without further ado, here is the link to the presentation slides: AARG Testing presentation.
One thing to note, Max's VE group, Aurora Amateur Radio Group based in Alaska, is offering FREE remote testing until the end of 2022. You'll still be on the hook for the FCC fee, but the testing fee is waived until the end of the year.
