How many island members here beside me are V.E's? :anyone: Check in now.
Here Here!
I'm not but two of my area buddies who are Island members are VEs. I'll let them out themselves when they log in again. :snicker:
Have been since shortly after the program started. Been a long time!
My creds all expired 6 years ago and I haven't bothered renewing them. I would have to drive between 40 and 60 miles one way nowadays to be able to fulfill that commitment.
<------ I am a VE check the callsign out ....does that count? :mrgreen:
Is there a Canadian equivalent to the VE program, Gerry?Quote:

I figured its VE history, why not?
I would encourage you and any Generals and Extra classes to get VE credentials, it is so rewarding to watch new hams and even upgrading hams coming into the ranks to keep our hobby alive, going and growing. My favorite people to test are children and the looks on their faces when they pass. The younger hams are the next generations to "keep it going"
