A really great piece of entertainment. Our May Meeting fizzled out at the Back Home Buffet. We had 15 members in attendance but the Restaurant couldn't give us a private room like they promised so it was to difficult to try and hold a meeting. But we really had a good tome eating and sharing some good stories with one another. A really nice visit with some good folks.
Extra donations are always welcome.
ARRL-VEC Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, reports his staff now is wrapping up April 24 receipts from VE sessions. The ARRL-VEC received nearly 23,000 applications between April 15 and May 26. ARRL-VEC staff was able to submit some 5000 applications to the FCC this week, up significantly from previous weeks. Jahnke still estimates it will take approximately six weeks from exam session to the time the paperwork is filed electronically with the FCC, although some grants have been showing up sooner than that. The FCC typically grants applications overnight.
