You're shacked up with one of them, but in any case he's only a
Technician and ineligible to test you anyway.


Now we get to the root of the matter. Unless the rules have changed, a
VE
(with the exception of Extras) must have a license class higher than the
exams they administer. Thus the General class licensee can only
administer
Tech class exams. To get above Tech, he would most likely have to drive
somewhere else.


The Advanced and Extras can administer Tech & General Exams. The Extras
can
administer Tech, General, and Extra exams. If your data is correct on
the
number of licensees in the area, they could NOT have tested him for
General
unless there were also some Advanced class licensees around who were VEs.
So it would seem that he asked for the impossible. No wonder they would
not
schedule an exam for him.


Dee, N8UZE-


Dee, why do you even validate Robesin's remarks with a legitimate
reply?


He made an error that needed correcting (i.e. what tests Generals could
give).


He made other errors and accusations, i.e., "You're shacked up with
one of them, but in any case he's only a
Technician and ineligible to test you anyway."

Why did you legitimize his inuendo and accusations with your remarks?

Otherwise some readers might have ended up acting on this incorrect
information and been disappointed.

Dee, how would we have "acted" on incorrect information? which
readers?
