ARRL VE "Last Chance Extra" Test Session Saturday, June 30th, 2012.
|
| VE Manny Troitino - KC2VMS |
We
Call this VE Session "Last Chance Saturday" because on Sunday July 1st, 2012 (the next day) the Extra Class
exam changed to all new questions.

This was the very last chance someone who studied
the old pool could become an extra without starting on the new question pool of over 700 questions.

We
would like to thank Director Birrimingham for helping Hams everywhere with her foward thinking.

The result was Lowell S. Vant Slot driving from Lords
Valley, PA to Yonkers, NY. This is a 105 mile 2 hour drive each way!

| Lowell S. Vant Slot - W2DLT Proud Amateur Extra class |
But he did not leave empty handed!
