Greg, I help at our club's VE sessions. We give the successful candidates an envelope from the ARRL that has the pamphlet "Your Guide to ARRL Services"; self-addressed return envelope and a membership application. That's from the VE side of the fence. - Bill N3LLR _____ From: Greg Milnes [mailto:w7oz@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 7:40 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:13370] licensed-letter from ARRL I'm wondering. When a VE team passes an applicant, what happens next? Do they get a letter or QSL-type card saying, "way to go" and by they way here's a great offer to join the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio? If not, why not? What can we do to put the ARRL before them right away? 73/Greg W7OZ
