BLUEGRASS
VOLUNTEER EXAMINERS
The Bluegrass Volunteer Examiners testing group was
formed in July 1990, with 4 VEs, consisting of Harry Sparks/KN4S, Jim
Odom/AC4FP, Tony Willoughby/WD4OWB, and Vernon Gibbs/W4JTL. Since
that time, as of 9/13/08, we have conducted 83 sessions, utilizing a total of 68 different VEs, with
1000 total applicants, 1830 total elements, and 652 upgrades.
SESSION REQUIREMENTS
In order to take an exam, two forms of ID must be shown, one of which
must be a picture ID, such as a driver's license. Minors who don't have a
picture ID may furnish a birth certificate, School ID, Report Card, Library Card, or
your parents may vouch for you upon presentation of their ID. If you know
any of the VEs, they may also vouch for you. The test fee for 2009 is either $10.00,
$14.00, or $15.00, depending on which VEC team is testing. This amount can be
paid either by cash or check.
If you currently have an amateur license, you must furnish the signed original
plus a signed copy. Your original will be checked and returned to you. The copy
will be forwarded along with your completed NCVEC Form 605 and test papers.
If you have a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE),
you must also furnish the original and a copy.
