This afternoon I showed up to what would have been my first amateur radio license testing session as an accredited volunteer examiner. I was one of eight VEs who showed up (three are required to conduct a testing session).
We had quite a time sitting around jawing at each other. There wasn’t anyone else to talk to, seeing as how no candidates turned up to take any tests.
Chris had been hoping to be ready by today for her Extra upgrade, but the Salt Lake City trip put a pause in her studying so now she’s shooting for a session in a neighboring county the first week of October.
But even if she had been ready today, she would have been the only candidate there, and as her husband I would have been unable to sign off on her test.
Oh well. There’s another Coweta VE session toward the end of October. Maybe we’ll have some takers then.
