Subj : Local License Exam Update

As you know, I do ham radio license exams on selected Saturdays at 10am
Central Time, in the central Arkansas area...specifically in Sherwood,
and Benton. So far, I have one examinee at Sherwood for June 1, and
August 3...but potentially 4 at Benton for June 8 -- so, I'm very happy
about that.

With weather concerns the next several days, and with the Memorial Day
Holiday Weekend coming up next weekend, I wanted to go ahead and get the
word out now, in case folks can't check their emails for awhile.

It appears that I have enough VE's for both the June 1 and June 8
session...I'll worry about the August 3 session toward the end of July,
and the November 2 session toward the end of October. But, if you're a
currently accredited ARRL/VEC Volunteer Examiner, I can use you...if you
haven't advised me of such already. I know a couple that have advised me
of schedule conflicts on those dates, and that's understandable. If
you've previously advised me that you can attend, but something else has
come up, please advise of such.

Examinees who would like to test at Sherwood on June 1, or Benton on
June 8 (I'll worry about the Sherwood sessions in August and November
another day)...or Volunteer Examiners who'd like to serve, please reply
to wx4qz at arrl dot net -- or call my voice mail at 501-476-2545...I
will return your call as soon as possible.

Take note that the current 2015 General Class License Question Pool and
resulting exams will EXPIRE on June 30, with a NEW pool and exams taking
effect on July 1. If you plan to take the General Class exam BEFORE
July 1, study the 2015 General Class Question Pool. However, if you
can't take the General class exam until July 1 or later, you'll need to
go to www.ncvec.org -- and download the 2019 General Class Question Pool
from there. Otherwise, you could be in for a rude awakening on exam day.

For what to bring to the session, go to:

http://www.arrl.org/what-to-bring-to-an-exam-session

I will reply with directions to the sites you note via email.

Lastly, if you are paying CASH for the exam fee ($15 per element), PLEASE
BRING EXACT CHANGE. Due to financial constraints, I may NOT have petty
cash available to "make change" at the session. In this regard, a check
or money order, payable to ARRL/VEC, for the needed amount, would work
better. My apologies for any inconvenience.
