Two days and I can become a no code VEC! Yep, passed the General and
Amateur Extra and just waiting for the regs to catch up!

Remember your next VEC could be "code free!"


Oh, you will become a Volunteer Exam Coordinator? So a person who passes
elements 3 and 4 can actually become a VEC, like ARRL and WY5I? I would
like to know the name of the coordinating VEC organization responsible for
issuing element 4 CSCE's to someone who doesn't even know the difference
between a VE and a VEC. Maybe new VE's will be "code free" but I would
hope they know the difference between a "VE" and a "VEC". ;-))


In addition, it would be very difficult to get the FCC to grant VEC status
to any group or individual. According to something I read awhile back, they
believe that there are enough VECs to do the job and so are not inclined to
allow any more.

However, the number of VEs is limited only by the number of licensees who
are eligible to become VEs.
