FLAGSTAFF – April 21 was a good day for the amateur radio community thanks to the Coconino Amateur Radio club. The club hosted an exam which had more people than usual and brought one person back into amateur radio.

There were six participants for a Technician License and one returned for his extra. All passed and one of the people passed both the Technician and General exam. He nearly passed the Extra exam, as well.

One of the participants came because her license had expired beyond the two-year grace period. Because she passed the Technician exam, she can now notify the FCC to get her General license re-instated. Welcome back to amateur radio.

Two of the examines were CARC students. One of them aced the exam and the other missed only two. That is thanks to instructors Dan Shearer N7YIQ, Jack Lunsford KD7RCJ and Ron Gerlak KG7OH.

The VE team today was Joe W7LUX, Ken KF7DUR, Erv KE7QFI and Glen KG7YDJ.
