   Hello, Mortar!   
      
   Replying to a message of Mortar M. to Rug Rat:   
      
    MM> You must be so proud.   
      
   Last month's meeting, we had one of our members who is the East Coast regional   
   sales director for Bendix King, a high-end radio manufacturer, take and pass   
   his Technican test on a whim.  I am a VE for our club and I dared him to doi   
   it.  We do not charge test fees so he took it...and passed. LOL   
      
   We give him a hard timr now about being an "accidental ham".   
      
   He was able to get BK to donate a special system to us that allows club   
   members to usxe both our 2 meter and220 meter repeaters over the Internet.    
   The system is called InteropONE if you want to look it up.   
      
   I am an ARRL-accredited VE with the Laurel VEC out of Laurel, Maryland.  It's   
   one of the oldest VEC groups and they do not charge a test fee for any amateur   
   radio license test.
