Dear FirstName,

Thank you for serving on the VE team for the amateur radio examination, sponsored by the Nashua Area Radio Club, on LastSession. The personal time and effort you contributed are truly appreciated!

For your records, I've enclosed a copy of the candidate roster, and the session statistics, including those for the entire program to date.

Our next examination is scheduled for NextSession, in Nashua, NH. Candidate registration begins at 9:00 AM, VE's should arrive by 8:30 AM. We will hopefully be holding it at the First Church of Nashua on the corner of Main, Amherst, and Concord Streets. These exams will be for all classes of amateur licenses.

If you would like to again participate as a VE in our next examination session, please contact me by RSVPdate. You can reach me at the address shown above, or at either phone number. I also frequent the 147.045 MHz Nashua repeater. Be sure to bring your ARRL/VEC identifying badge (or certificate) to each exam in which you intend to serve as a VE, you cannot serve without it!

The session results were significantly less than our average. The session itself went very smoothly. On the plus side we did end up with a General, an Advanced, and two Extra class hams. The 610 and CSCE printing continues to be a time saver at the session as well as reducing the error rate at the VEC and FCC. For your reference, the tentative Nashua exam dates for the remainder of 1995 are June 17th, September 9th, and December 2nd.

Don t forget about the 1995 ARRL New England Division convention. There will be a single exam sesion on Saturday, 29th starting at 8:00 AM and running until there are no more candidates. Like the 1993 convention there will be two shifts of VE s. The morning crew will work from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM, and second shift will run from 11:30 AM till we re done. Glen Cabana, WA1HMF, is running the VE effort. If you're interested, let Glen know. At least 30 VE's are needed to make this a success.

Finally, if you have any ideas as to how we might better conduct our volunteer exams, or find any exams that should be added to the KY1N Memorial list (maintained by Chick Hunt, KC1OX) please send these to me at the above address, or via packet radio (WW1Y-1 on 144.970, or WW1Y @ KB4N.NH on 145.050). I can also be reached via internet at heedles@ww1y.mv.com.

73,

Jim Heedles, WW1Y
