VE session success -- Thanks and Congratulations
Pat Knight AD5BR <ad5br@...>
Yesterday, February 14, the San Antonio Radio Club sponsored a VE
session at Broadway National Bank. Many thanks go to Paul Guido and David Freiberger for all their help preparing for the event. We had 28 pre-registered candidates, and wanted to be prepared for an unknown number of walk-ins. (It turns out that our 4 no-shows balanced our 4 walk-ins.) Congratulations go to 3 new Technicians, 18 new Generals, and 4 new Extras. 25 of 28 candidates were successful in earning new licenses or upgrades. Of the 18 Generals, 6 were paperwork upgrades (one of whom wound up with the Green Team). We had one person who went from zero to Extra, and four more new hams. We appreciate the Broadway National Bank allowing us the use of their facilities, and Paul Guido for arranging our use of the bank. Paul did all sorts of things to help us be ready for a crowd, including making signs, doing web updates, and making behind-the-scenes arrangements. David Freiberger did many things including transporting extra tables and chairs, getting a small printer/copier, and preparing hand-out materials. We gained some new members at the session, but David will need to share that count. We invited all test candidates to join us at KCOMM to use the club station. Lee N5NTG and Bob W2IK were there to help. David K5OLE made sure the station was ready ahead of time. Thanks to you three, and thanks to everyone who was at KCOMM to make the newly licensed or upgrades hams feel welcome. The following VEs and non-VE volunteers made the VE session possible. Although each of them has received separate thanks, be sure to thank the following volunteers for helping with the successful session. Non-VEs: David Freiberger - Money Guy (registration table) Charlie Land KC5NKK - directed candidates where to go Lew Archer KD5MSW - many support tasks, wherever he was needed John Goates (AD5BR's son) - Elevator Guy VEs: Upgrade Team Bob Hejl W2IK Richard Schuh AE5RS Norm Fulkerson AD5EF Blue Team Jim Wells W5CPA David Espinoza W5QS Benny Martinez NU5P Bill Reichert WE5ET Yellow Team Bruce Parkes KA2ZGW Pat Willingham KA5RIO Gil Mathis AA5XH Shane O'Neal NS5D Green Team Charlie Brown N9RU Carol Brown N5CMB Bill Heberling WD5EDR Facilitators/Backup VEs Paul Guido N5IUT Pat Knight AD5BR Redirecting those who showed up at Covenant Lee Besing N5NTG Thanks go to all of you! 73, Pat AD5BR

Special Thanks for all that made the testing available. In passing both the Element 2 and 3 test, and a new member of SARC, I am looking forward to getting on the air.
Thanks again, Louis Upton --------------------------------- Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo! Mail on your mobile. Get started!
