• Local License Exam Update

    From Daryl Stout@954:895/7 to All on Friday, April 21, 2023 08:34:46
    From the April 20, 2023 edition of The ARRL Letter:

    The National Council of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (NCVEC) has
    released a 2nd Errata for the 2023 - 2027 General Class Element 3
    Question Pool.

    The NCVEC Question Pool Committee (QPC) has released the second revision
    of the 2023 - 2027 General Class element 3 Question Pool. This revision supplants the question pools released on December 1, 2022, and February
    1, 2023.

    The changes are reflected in the new General pool downloadable files,
    dated April 15, 2023. Three questions have been withdrawn from use, and
    removed from the pool: G6B09, G9C06, and G9D13.

    Most of the other questions had minor changes.

    ARRL VEC teams (and I would assume all VEC Teams) are advised to check
    the NCVEC website or the ARRL website regularly for updates to the
    question pools, which may include errata and withdrawn questions.

    The new General Class Element 3 Question Pool goes into effect on July 1,
    2023.

    Due to UALR Ham Radio Club Faculty Advisor, Dr. Keith Hudson, N5EEZ,
    coming down with Covid-19...along with other issues, the ham radio
    license exam session that was scheduled on the UALR Campus for this
    coming Saturday, July 8, 2023, is CANCELED.

    We're still hoping to do a session on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023...and, apologize for any inconvenience for the cancellation. I left a message
    with ARRL/VEC, and will call them in the morning to confirm the session cancellation.

    To find additional exams, go to https://www.arrl.org -- click on
    Exams, then "Find A License Exam Session". Enter the search criteria
    (such as state), and click SEARCH. When you find an exam session that
    meets your needs (either in person or remote/online), contact the VE
    Team Leader or contact person to "get your name in the hat".

    We wish Dr. Hudson a speedy recovery.
