Information from within ARRL indicates that last year the ARRL VECs, whose
teams handle over 70% ov al VE sessions, per their claim (which I am not
confirming nor disputing), performed over 5,000 VE sessions (with each
session handling multiple applicants/testees).
According to the report, the average session was 5-10 applicants/testees ...
(25-50k testees)
"Reservations" have now jumped to 50-75/session!!!
That's excellent!
It appears that no-code WILL result in significant growth. (as I predicted)
Well, maybe.
W3GEG told me that this past week's VE session in Morgantown resulted in
five fellows who took and passed Morse Code exams in obtaining their new
licenses. I seem to recall that you'd commented some time ago that some
people might want to take such an exam before the elimination of Morse
testing.
