Hi,
We had a very good license examination session yesterday, Sunday, 10 Dec 2023.
We had 10 candidates come through.
4 new technicians
1 new general (an upgrade from tech)
3 new amateur extras
(2 were upgrades from general.
1 19 year old passed all three exams)
2 failed the tech exam
We had 7 VEs supporting the effort.
Steve, KN4BGW
John, W3XWT
Kevin, W4KLS
Harry KI2H
William KQ4GWZ
Chris KO4OZJ
Gordon, NQ4K
Also, Evan, KM4SK, printed some flyers about our club and we passed them out to new hams. Maybe we will get a few new members.
Everything went very smoothly.
Very small sample size, but it seems that folks who take our tech class do better on the exam than those who do not.
This was the first time we tried walk-ins only. It worked out OK. A little slower but not significantly.
Thank you all who helped. It was a good time.
I think we are going to schedule a tech class and exam session for February. Amit, WY2Z, will coordinate the class. We will let all know when we have settled on the dates.
