( From: WIA NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING JULY 28 2019 )
The VE Exams Australia Session held for the first time in Osborne Park, Perth this month was a success.
As there is a requirement for three Volunteer Examiners to be in attendance at any exam session the following ARRL Volunteer Examiners Chris VK3FY / W3YM, Nik VK3FE / K3FV and Di VK4DI /AG5JI had flown in to run to the session.
Four local candidates had registered to take their exams.
The final outcome of the exam session, was that one new technician, one new general and two new extra class licences will be issued to the candidates.
All candidates were already licensed VK6 amateurs.
These candidates have all expressed an interest in becoming Volunteer Examiners, and lengthy discussions took place after the exam session on this very topic by all the candidates.
Additional discussions relating to the integrity of exam sessions (having three VE present), the uncomplicated exam process, and the fact the results are known immediately concluding each exam element.
VE Exams Australia will be conducting another session in VK6 in the near the future.
Interested in sitting a US licence exam and in VK3?
Next Victoria Exam Session will be held at Eastern & Mountain District Radio Club on AUGUST 10
This has been Chris VK3FY/W3YM for the VK1WIA National News Broadcast
Editors Note : Following the VE Exams held up at the Sunshine Coast on 22nd June and successful candidates having applied for VE status, there will soon be the possibility of more VE Exams being held in SE Qld .. Exam dates and locations will be notified as soon as they are known. Start studying..
