The examination session was held on Sunday, 26 March 2023.  We started at about 1215 and were finished by 1430.

We had two grading lines with 3 VE each.  One table boss to route examinations and check for completeness. 

We served 22 examination candidates. 21 received a new license. This was 15 new Techs.  Four new general class. And two Amateur Extra class.
