    SD> I am an ARRL-accredited VE with the Laurel VEC out of Laurel,   
    SD> Maryland.  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.
