Here’s a great message about a recent test session in MO. It is indicative of what is possible when going through ARRL VEC for exam processing. There are examination teams we need to be more deliberate getting in front of to ensue they understand what is possible and supported by ARRL VEC. There’s no reason to continue hearing “stories” about how antiquated and slow our VEC is.

Four candidates tested for Technician and all four passed and were issued CSCEs. This was a traditional paper exam. All the exam paperwork was scanned to pdf and sublitted to the ARRL VEC by email about an hour later. The lead VE called the ARRL VEC and provided fee payment by credit card and retained the payments received from the candidates. Sit down; their licenses were live in the FCC ULS by 4:30 PM CDT today (the same day)!!! All I can say is WOW that was FAST! Ken W0KAH Proud to be a part of that team
