[W5SFA] VE accreditation, Adding ARRL and Youth Licensing Grant

[Roger Klein]

Joe, 

 

Thanks for chasing this down.

 

I also have (had) ARRL VE accreditation, but pretty sure it has expired as one needs to have participated in an ARRL VE session within the last 5 years.   But it looks like one can be reinstated fairly easily.

 

The last exams the club administered was way back in 2021.  That year we administered a grand total of 3 tests, nothing since.  So, it may be an opportune time to switch from W5YI  to ARRL.  Either way, there are some procedural changes we’ll have to get up to speed on.  

 

I’d also prefer not to be the VE team coordinator and give that opportunity to someone else!

 

73,

 

Roger N5RWK

Great news.  That makes 3 of us that are accredited in both W5YI and the ARRL.

I found a link and added a link that Chuck mentioned.

 

If we want to get the ARRL to reimburse the one-time $35 application fee for new license candidates younger than 18-years old for tests administered under the ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (ARRL VEC <mailto:vec at arrl.org> ) program,  we as W5YI VE examiners have to fill out a form and send it to the ARRL.  The form would give us ARRL VE status.

 

Also:  Additionally, candidates younger than 18-years old would pay a reduced exam session fee of $5 to the ARRL VEC VE team at the time of the exam.

 

We would be licensed to administer ARRL tests without going through the test for ARRL VE.

 

Here are links:

It's early morning for me and I might have left something out.  This just looks too easy.
