ARRL VEC EXAMINATION FEE TO RISE
by Marvin Johnston 16 Nov '02

16 Nov '02

*************** The ARRL Letter Vol. 21, No. 45 November 15, 2002 *************** ==>ARRL VEC EXAMINATION FEE TO RISE Starting January 1, 2003, the fee charged all applicants at ARRL VEC-coordinated Amateur Radio test sessions will increase from $10 to $12 for the year 2003. This fee is charged to anyone applying for a new amateur license or upgrading their operating privileges. "While the number of examinees has remained relatively unchanged in the past 24 months, our cost of doing business--and the expenses incurred by ARRL VEs--continues to rise," said ARRL VEC Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ. "An adjustment was needed in the 2003 test fee if we intended to maintain the same level of service that our VEs and VE teams have come to expect." Applicants failing an exam element at ARRL sessions where examiners permit retesting on the same exam element also must submit a retest fee of $12. Additionally, the maximum reimbursement ARRL VEC allows ARRL volunteer examiner (VE) teams to retain to directly offset their "prudently incurred" out-of-pocket expenses will go up from $4 to $6 in 2003 (this fee has remained at $4 per person served since 1991). Jahnke said that adjusting the reimbursement level for ARRL VEs also was past due. For more information, contact ARRL VEC, vec(a)arrl.org.

O.T.: Ham Humor Request
by Denny AD6EZ 12 Nov '02

12 Nov '02

Hi All - Two years ago I volunteered to be one of three editors for our Radio club's monthly newsletter. It is a pretty good publication but rather "dry" at times. So I was wondering if those of you that receive and enjoy a good Ham related joke or short story from time to time wouldn't mind forwarding them to me. If it is not copyright protected and if appropriate, I would like to include a joke or two in each of our monthly newsletter. I would also, at your request, include your name and call sign as contributor.

Attention all ARRL-affiliated clubs!
by Marvin Johnston 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

*************** The ARRL Letter Vol. 21, No. 44 November 8, 2002 *************** * Attention all ARRL-affiliated clubs! ARRL Field and Educational Services reminds ARRL-affiliated clubs that they are eligible to sign up for ARRL E-Mail Forwarding Service (@arrl.net) vanity e-mail addresses. To apply, send an e-mail request <clubregistration(a)arrl.org>, and F&ES will do the rest. You should receive a test message once the process has been completed. F&ES also points out that to remain actively affiliated, ARRL-affiliated clubs need to file a report with ARRL Headquarters each year. A good way to remember to submit your club's report is to use your election time as a reminder "flag." ARRL HQ also needs to know any time a change occurs within a club's records. To update your club's records, complete the Affiliated Club Annual Report Form, available on the ARRL Web site <http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/club/forms/fsd2/>. Reminder notices go out to overdue clubs in January and July. For more information, contact ARRL Club and Educational Correspondent Margie Bourgoin, KB1DCO, mbourgoin(a)arrl.org; 860-594-0267; fax, 860-594-0259.

ARDF Event, December 7th, Wildwood Park
by Marvin Johnston 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

Wildwood Park in Thousand Oaks will be the site of southern California's next international-style on-foot foxhunt. It is open to anyone of any age. A ham radio license and knowledge of radio equipment is not required. This event is being hosted by Dean Dods KD6I and Marvin Johnston KE6HTS. There will be five fox transmitters on 146.565 MHz FM with international-rules timing, plus other two-meter transmitters for beginners. An optional 80-meter transmitter may also be hidden. The site is approximately 1 by 1-1/2 miles, with about 250 feet elevation change. Gathering time is 12 noon with a test transmitter on the air. The main 5-fox hunt starts at 1:00 PM. Bring any 2-meter and 80-meter RDF "sniffing" gear you have. If you don't have any, just bring your handi-talkie or scanner. A limited number of RDF sets will be available for loan. Also be sure to bring anything you'll need while going after those radio foxes, such as munchies, bottled water and sunscreen. Course maps will be available ($1 each), so bring your own compass, protractor and pencil. Make sure all batteries are fresh.

Next ARDF Meets
by Marvin Johnston 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

The next 2 Meter ARDF meet is scheduled for Saturday, December 7th at Wildwood Park in Thousand Oaks. This hunt is being put on by Dean Dods, KD6I. We will gather down there about noon with one practice T on the air, and the real hunt will start at 1:00 PM. There will be a $1.00 charge for the map. You can email Dean at ddods(a)iolwest.com for more information. I'll be leaving SB around 10:30, and anyone who wants to carpool is welcome to come with me. Several of us usually gather for an early dinner after the hunt, so we will probably get back to SB around 7:00 PM. ******************** I am also putting on an ARDF meet at Vermont Canyon (Griffith Park area) on Sunday, January 12th that will be sponsored by the Los Angeles Orienteering Club (LAOC). There will be an entry fee of $4.00 for LAOC members, and $6.00 for non-members. A regular full color Orienteering map will be provided to all competitors. Besides the ARDF meet, we plan on several Beginners Courses (White and Yellow, possibly Orange). LAOC policy is to not charge for additional courses unless another map is needed. Registration will open at 9:30 AM with the first start time at 10:00 AM, start times ending at noon, and the course will close at 3:00 PM. A training session is tentatively planned at 9:00 AM. More details will be forthcoming as soon as they are available. ******************** The US ARDF Championships will be held on July 30 - August 3 near Cincinatti, Ohio. More information can be found on the HomingIn Web site at http://members.aol.com/homingin/farsnews.html#cincinnati, and the US ARDF 2003 Championships web site at http://w3.one.net/~bfrey/. ******************** If you are interested in competing on the US Team at the next World ARDF Championships (Czech Republic in 2004), you won't want to miss out on these events as US Team members are chosen on past performance. Marvin, KE6HTS

Re: [Sbarc-list] TEST!

Oh Yeah? The last time I disregarded a test, I got an "F". I hope this is an open book test, as I didn't study. How many correct answers is a passing grade? Will there be a makeup test? 73, Don On Sat, 2 Nov 2002 13:22:47 -0800 (PST) Dennis Schwendtner <dennis(a)rain.org> writes: > Just a test.
