They're more like isolated cases rather than widespread abuse. Not everybody's goal in life is to "cheat the system". Stacey/AA7YA True enough. But do you think Riley has been 100% effective at catching the cheaters? |

Or is there something in between? Dunno Brian. I wouldn't think that those two things are completely related. Obviously he won't catch everything. but that doesn't mean that it is a tip of the iceberg thing. - Mike KB3EIA - |

I've participated in VE sessions in PA, CA, TN, and overseas with the Armed Forces, and have never seen so much as a wink or a nod given in a test that could even give the impression of cheating. let alone actaully happening. The one and only time anyone MIGHT have had reason to raise suspicion was addressed with a letter identifying a relationship between an examinee and examiner, (cousins), and the examiner in question didn't even touch his paper or so much as say hello to him until after the exams were done. (There were five examiners present) Besides...who NEEDS to cheat when the Government publishes both the questions AND the answers prior to the exam? Every exam that I have sat on has bent-over-backwards to make sure that asolutely NO character issues are present before the exam. 73 Steve, K4YZ |

If character issues prevent a legitimate exam, neither you nor Bruce would have upgraded. Uh huh. Right. Steve, K4YZ |
