VE Session and HamCram

by AJ4GT on May.13, 2013, under Club Information

Just a reminder.

We have a VE Session scheduled for this coming Saturday morning (May 18). We will meet at the Butts County Rec Center on Ernst Biles Drive at 8:30 AM, the session begins at 9 AM and I believe we have at least one candidate signed up. As usual, we will get together for breakfast prior to the testing session, 7:30 AM at The Lunch Box Restaurant in Jackson. Hope to see you all at the VE session and the “planning session” at The Lunch Box.

We have a HamCram scheduled for July 20. The VE Session for that HamCram will be held at BCFD Station 7 beginning at 4 PM. Let Capt. Jess know if you are available for that. We just started taking names and already have six people signed up. If you know of anyone who might be interested in attending the HamCram (Technician or General) please let me or Dan know.

See ya Saturday…

Thanks & 73,

Buzz Kutcher, K3GWK
