First of all, FCC Rules and Regulations require that a VE team consist of three unrelated (to the applicant) members. According to QRZ, I find less than 2 dozen licensed Amateurs within 20 miles of you. You're shacked up with one of them, but in any case he's only a Technician and ineligible to test you anyway. Secondly, the VE team members must be of at least equal licensure to the level being TESTED FOR...Not already in-hand. That means that only SEVEN of those number were even ELIGIBLE to be VE's to test you to the level of General, and only ONE of those persons holds an Extra, so no matter what, you'd have to drive somewhere to get above General. 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 While all of this makes perfect sense to you and me, and is indeed the order of the testing hierarchy, methinks Mark will STILL somehow view himself to be the set-upon "victim". It may even further irritate Mark to learn that I am a VE, so thanks, Dee, for setting the record straight. |
