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, N8UZE- Dee, how would we have "acted" on incorrect information? which readers? There is always the potential for that. Some General who reads this group might have thought he could give General tests. The paperwork would have bounced and then there would be a very irate Technician. Such would be grossly unfair to the that applicant. So do you think all hams are stupid, or just the ones that read RRAP? Or a Technician might have been led to believe that a General could administer the General test and become hostile when the General VE refused. All this hostility! Where does it come from? In today's world, these things can even lead to violence. Dee, N8UZE That's when you call in the RF Commandos. |
