Things this week:  

 

1.        Hamvention Clean-up - This Thursday!! 

We all enjoy the DARA clubhouse every Thursday.  

This week is our time to clean and straighten it up to show the world.
Please come help to make it look its best.

2.        Hamvention - next week!!

Next week May 16 there will NOT be a TNG.  Get a good night's sleep and
enjoy the big show!

3.        License Exam Questions of the week

One question is drawn from each of the three question pools. Steve, AE8AT,
is providing these questions.  Thanks Steve

 

Answers are at the end of this email.

 

We received a question regarding the strange mix of letters and numbers that
begin each question.  Every exam question has a unique combination of
letter-number-letter-number.  The first letter is a T, G, or E to identify
the question pool: Technician, General, or Extra.  Next is a single number
representing the category, for example, category zero is safety in all three
exam pools.  The first letter-number pair is called the "sub-element".   The
second letter is a "group" containing related questions.  Example,
sub-element G8 is Signals and Emissions, with group C of that sub-element
being Digital Emission Modes.  The questions are numbered sequentially:
G8C01, G8C02, and so forth always with a 2-digit number at the end.  The
question identity is included in case of a typo or some "help" from
autocorrect obscures either the question or the answer.  

 

This week the quiz looks to the weather for inspiration.  Let's hope it will
all be out of the system Hamvention!
