Of course, since the code tests are done by volunteers you could argue
that no money will be saved. Firstly, that won't stop them, and
secondly, VEs may be less likely to claim expenses if they don't have
to buy code tapes, so some paltry amount of money may in fact be
saved.

Na Alun don't worry about those expenses for code tapes or programs or
33 RPM records etc. There have been many a VE out there who has taken
his significant other out for a "night on the town" after a VE session.
Why would some guys drive for a hundred miles to "take" a test when
tests are locally offered ???

Dare I say shenanigans ....... ??????

You do realise that the max that can be claimed back is a percentage of the
test fee?

Yep there Alun ...I was referring not to the legal percentage that can be
charged but to the "selling" of tickets via questionable testing practices.
Again this is something that did happen even under the FCC testing via
shills taking the tests and the conditional cheating. Call me jaded or
whatever ...but I firmly believe that some where out there a ticket can be
purchased . BTW Alun ...stop by if your heading this way.
