Default No Code VEC

Two days and I can become a no code VEC! Yep, passed the General and
Amateur Extra and just waiting for the regs to catch up!

Remember your next VEC could be "code free!"

Since I've already taken all the code tests (and theory examinations) I'm
going to take, it really doesn't matter to me or not if the VE is coded or
not.

What? It takes a genius to figure out a cub scout den mother could
administer the test? I mean come on, these idiots are just begging for
it ...

Individuals are VEs not VECs. Organizations like W5YI, ARRL, and others are
VECs.

Dee:

As always, you are exactly technically correct.

If the nice ladies in my Catholic Altar Society, the ones who do all the
nice bake sales, wine tasting organizing, flowers, etc.--they would make
a good example of what would constitute a good VEC, for just "another
example."

Oh, you will become a Volunteer Exam Coordinator? So a person who passes
elements 3 and 4 can actually become a VEC, like ARRL and WY5I? I would like
to know the name of the coordinating VEC organization responsible for
issuing element 4 CSCE's to someone who doesn't even know the difference
between a VE and a VEC. Maybe new VE's will be "code free" but I would hope
they know the difference between a "VE" and a "VEC". ;-))

In addition, it would be very difficult to get the FCC to grant VEC status
to any group or individual. According to something I read awhile back, they
believe that there are enough VECs to do the job and so are not inclined to
allow any more.

However, the number of VEs is limited only by the number of licensees who
are eligible to become VEs.
