[GCARC] Second Annual Licensing Saturday

[Urb LeJeune]

The Second Licensing Saturday


The Second Licensing Saturday was a huge success because of equal parts 
of outstanding club
member participation and dedicated enthusiasm on the part of the 
candidates. First let’s thank
the club members.

VEs


Gary N2QEE, the GCARC VE coordinator, did an extraordinary job. We were 
a little short-handed
but Gary kept things moving.

Chuck WA2TML called and asked if we still needed an instructor. When I 
asked him if he was a VE
he replied that his VE certification had expired but he would see what 
he could do. He called the
ARRL VEC and they reinstated his VE certification and emailed him a 
temporary badge.Chuck
was an instructor in the afternoon cram session as well as a VE in the 
afternoon session.

Jim, N2GXJ, officiated at both VE sessions.

Jeff, WB2ZBN, officiated at both sessions as well as making sure there 
were drinks and snacks for
the assembled masses.

Jennifer, KD2EYR, officiated at the AM VE session.

Urb W1UL officiated at both sessions.

Instructors


Both the Technician and General Cram sessions had three 50 minute review 
sessions. There were
different instructors of each session. The instructors for the morning 
session were:

Urb W1UL
Ernest KD2EAV
Bob KD2UJ

The afternoon session instructors were:


Urb W1UL
Chuck WA2TML
Bob KD2UJ

Lee. N2LAM, ordered and picked up the pizza.

Al KB2AYU stopped by dropping off cash for pizza purchase.

If I missed anyone I apologize and please let me know for the final 
newsletter version.

The expenses were well under budget.

We already have three dues paying new members.
