ARRL Now Only Wants No Code Hams - Holding Midnight Exams

This alone gives the VEC and arrl MUCH more credibility then the toothless old grumps deserve. And, I have complained about this ... I will continue to do so, use the public funds and keep this outta private hands and influence! The arrl need to go, and Carl is NOT looking like a good replacement with NCI when he boot licks ... amateur radio needs a new start and some new blood ... someone needs to kick some real booty here. Regards, JS There are at least 12 VECs. These VECs create a Question Pool Committee and create the pool and maintain it. Since the question pool is available in its entirety for free from a number of websites and since the FCC does not create nor maintain the pool, there is little reason for it to be on the FCC web site. Dee, N8UZE Did I vote for these VECs? Are these VECs responsible to me under law? Do these VECs' use public resource monies, and if so, why? Were these VEC elected? Appointed by a congressman of mine? By the house? By the senate? Tell me more about why these VECs should have their A$$E$ kicked down the stairwell ... JS JS You can become a VEC if you so desire. All you have to do is find enough hams to support your efforts and create an organization to conduct examination sessions. There is nothing magic about the VEC. It just takes a lot of unpaid work on the part of a lot of people. Yes some get paid to process the paperwork and file the actual application for your license. No one is getting rich on this program.
