73s,

Just for starters, it pieces me off that the FCC doesn't even host
the download of the amateur pool questions "right-out-and-openly" on
their web page. This alone gives the VEC and arrl MUCH more
credibility then the toothless old grumps deserve. And, I have
complained about this ... I will continue to do so, use the public
funds and keep this outta private hands and influence!
The arrl need to go, and Carl is NOT looking like a good replacement
with NCI when he boot licks ... amateur radio needs a new start and
some new blood ... someone needs to kick some real booty here.

There are at least 12 VECs. These VECs create a Question Pool
Committee and create the pool and maintain it. Since the question
pool is available in its entirety for free from a number of websites
and since the FCC does not create nor maintain the pool, there is
little reason for it to be on the FCC web site.
Dee, N8UZE
Did I vote for these VECs? Are these VECs responsible to me under law?
Do these VECs' use public resource monies, and if so, why? Were these
VEC elected? Appointed by a congressman of mine? By the house? By the
senate?
Tell me more about why these VECs should have their A$$E$ kicked down
the stairwell ...

You can become a VEC if you so desire. All you have to do is find enough
hams to support your efforts and create an organization to conduct
examination sessions.
There is nothing magic about the VEC. It just takes a lot of unpaid work
on the part of a lot of people. Yes some get paid to process the
paperwork and file the actual application for your license. No one is
getting rich on this program.
