[K3CAL] VE Team

Hi Eric 
I was a VE for about ten years but I checked with ARRL 
and I would have to retake the course because the new question pool. 
I would be willing to do this but I don't how how long it wiil take.

Don showed me his ARRL VEC credentials last night so he can participate.   

So that looks like me, Rich, and Don.  Anyone else?
