   EV>Would You have an info about the F.C.C.'s provision for giving the Code   
   EV>Test to a handicapped person?   
      
     Offhand, I can't recall that, but there may have been one. But, as you   
   know, the FCC eliminated the code requirement 8 years ago.   
      
   EV>Iirc, You tried taking a Code Test, but had difficulties.   
      
     Correct. Had I filled in the blanks, I probably would've passed the   
   exam, but it's a moot point now.   
      
   EV>Ah!, another ROUNDTUIT to look up.   
      
     She is also an ARRL/VEC Extra Class VE, as her husband is...and IIRC,   
   she's business manager for Ham Test Online, while her husband manages   
   the website.   
      
     The funniest part wasn't that she went from Zero to Extra (passed the   
   Technician, General, and Extra in one sitting), but she used (and was   
   critiquing) Ham Test Online, what her husband had created.   
      
     The funny part was that when the VE's there asked what book she used,   
   and she said "There's a book?? I used Ham Test Online!!".   
      
     Her husband was grinning like the Cheshire cat that had just swallowed   
   the canary...and as the story noted "everyone in the room was gob   
   smacked". :)   
      
     Besides offering the money back guarantee, currently accredited   
   General and Advanced class VE's, who've done at least 4 sessions, can   
   sign up for their Extra Class course, a $35 value, for FREE!! It's the   
   same 2 years subscription, but for free.   
      
     Of course, the disclaimer of "see the website for details" applies on   
   the "Extra Class VE deal" and the "money back guarantee". To me, it was   
   the best money I ever spent in ham radio.   
      
   EV>Hope You can find better information at the Mayo Clinic web site.   
      
     I was trying to remember what that, and another website you mentioned   
   was, but I had (what I call) a "gray blond moment"...and could NOT   
   remember them. :P   
      
   EV>Really, I appreciate Ya'll getting as much snow as possible there so as   
   EV>to reduce the amount of snow that falls here, but I'd hate for You to   
   EV>miss the Russellville Hamfest.   
      
     Well, it's going to be a tossup, weatherwise. Another winter storm is   
   poised to hit the state Wednesday and Wednesday night...and the National   
   Weather Service offices in BOTH Little Rock and Memphis have ALREADY   
   issued a Winter Storm Watch...2 days out...which is unusual. Some data   
   is showing a corridor of heavy snow from central into east and northeast   
   Arkansas. The higher sun angle this time of year should help with   
   melting, but we'll have to wait and see. I postponed my neck MRI again,   
   which was set for Thursday...it's at least the third time I've had to   
   postpone it, and all due to weather.   
      
     It's not my driving I'm worried about, it's everyone else's. Plus, the   
   cellphone networks will be the first to fail once the winter   
   precipitation starts.   
      
   EV>I hope You get some info from the Mayo Clinic that is of help.   
   EV>Hope the info there is better than what You've heard earlier.   
      
     I hope so. But, if they can rule out things like paralysis or neck   
   surgery, the torturous pain will be a small price to pay.   
      
     On another note, I helped with another license exam session this past   
   Saturday. We only had 1 victim (errr...candidate (hi hi)), but he ACED   
   his Technician exam (and it did have schematics with it).
