This Saturday, January 10th, we will be at the airport training on our new Testing software. This is a required change by the ARRL and FCC to adapt to a more digital world. While this means doing electronic testing and a little more training, this also means new test takers can get their license in as little as 4 days! If anyone is interested in becoming a VE, or is interested in taking a new license test, please feel free to attend this meeting. As always, we will be starting at 10:30, and having testing at 12. We will also get some more training on the calendar for the upcoming educational meetings.
