[PPRAANet] MARC VE Session; Saturday 12/4

[Wes Wilson]

The Mountain Amateur Radio Club VE Team will be conducting a VE session at
10 am on Saturday, January 4th, at the Woodland Park Senior Center.  The
MARC VE Team is affiliated with the ARRL/VEC and examinations for all
classes of license will be offered.

Full information, including directions to the Woodland Park Senior Center,
is available under �VE Sessions� on the MARC website at www.qsl.net/nx0g or
contact Wes Wilson (K�HBZ) at wlw@prodigy.net or call (719) 687-8758.

If attending, please BE SURE to bring the following items to the session:
1.  A valid PHOTO ID, driver's license preferred (if you do not have a valid
photo ID, please call for alternative identification requirements).
2.  Your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (now required).
3.  Your ORIGINAL amateur radio license (if any) AND a PHOTOCOPY for the VE
Team to keep.
4.  The ORIGINAL of any CSCEs you may have AND a PHOTOCOPY for the VE Team
to keep.
5.  Cash, Check or Money Order for $12 (standard ARRL VE Fee).  Checks and
money orders should be made out to MARC and cover all different exams you
wish to take at the VE session.

MARC VE Team policy, as with many VE Teams, is to not allow same day retests
on failed exams.
For already licensed hams, MARC members should be monitoring the MARC
repeater system 146.820- or 448.650- (both 107.2 Hz) if you need help with
talk-in.

NOTE:  As of January 1, 2003 the cost for all ARRL/VEC exam sessions has
been raised from $10 to $12.  The FCC has been putting more and more of the
responsibility for examination administrative duties on the various
Volunteer Exam Coordinators (VECs) and this exam fee increase is necessary
to cover the additional administrative costs.
