It's one of the oldest VEC groups and they do not        SD> charge a test fee for any amateur radio license test.               I want to say that the Laurel VEC has now accredited a VE Team       with Courage Kenny Handi-Hams...so they can do exams at their       yearly fall radio camp.               I record the monthly audio transcript for the visually impaired       of the Journal of the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA).       It takes about 8 hours to get everything done, but I know that       many blind and visually impaired hams enjoy this. I started doing       it just over a year ago, when the last guy (who had done it for       several years), retired.               Having had poor eyesight much of my life, I know what a benefit       this is.              73,              Daryl Stout, N5VLZ, QCWA VHF+ Net Manager               ...
