License Study Aids
Attached are three study aids put together for the Technician, General and Extra classes of licensing. These PDF's are the current published VE question pools with the WRONG ANSWERS removed. Feel free to distribute these to anyone needing additional study materials. Also, if you notice any error or ommissions, please drop me a line. For many people taking the licensing exams who use rote memorization methods, these will help you to memorize the right answers. The idea here is that if you use the pools to study, why study the wrong answers as well as the right ones? Studying the wrong answers makes them familiar when taking practice exams or the real one. No grade school, middle school, high school, trade school, college or university teaches the wrong answers along with the right ones. Only time we see wrong answers are on tests. Recognize the right answer when testing. I personalty suggest anyone using these study aids to learn the material take some extra time to use other materials (license guides, handbooks, elmers, etc) to understand those questions which puzzle you. You don't need a degree in EE or Physics to pass the extra, but having an understanding of the principles and concepts will help your analytical thinking as an extra class amateur. 73 es gl Bill N4LG W5YI VEC JAWS

FREE: GE 110W 2M Power Amplifier - Experimenter Special
FREE for local pickup - first contact gets it. I have surplus to my needs a General Electric continuous duty 2M 110W power amplifier assembly for FM base station or repeater service. The PA unit was from a GE repeater. It requires 100mW drive and is adjustable from 20-110W output. It requires 12VDC at a minimum of 25A for full power output. Some work will be required to adapt it to a handheld or base transceiver. The amplifier is about 19" wider, 6" high and 6" deep. It has a large heatsink across the back side. The weight is about 15-20lbs. Here is a manual on the amplifier: http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/lbi-library/lbi-30739b.pdf Unfortunately, this amplifier is heading for the recycle bin if there are no takers in a week. Thanks - Bill

Expanded Post On $35 FCC License Fee
Some complained to me via email about the URL only with the notice of the $35 fee...so I have copied and pasted the info from https://www.arrl.org/fcc-application-fee I did NOT include the URL for the CORES login in this post...one will have to go to the URL noted above for that. Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, UALR Ham Radio Club VE Team Liaison *** The new Amateur Radio license application fees will take effect on April 19, 2022. The Federal Communications Commission's authority to impose and collect fees is mandated by Congress. The $35 application fee, when it becomes effective on April 19, will apply to new, modification (upgrade and sequential call sign change), renewal, and vanity call sign applications. The fee will be per application. Administrative updates, such as a change of name, mailing or email address, will be exempt from fees. VECs and Volunteer Examiner (VE) teams will not have to collect the $35 fee at exam sessions. Once the FCC application fee takes effect, new and upgrade applicants will pay the $15 exam session fee to the ARRL VE team as usual, and pay the $35 application fee directly to the FCC by using the CORES FRN Registration system. (Side Note: Other VE Teams and VEC's may charge a different amount...some VEC's/VE Teams have no fee at all. If you go through the W5YI VEC on the QRZ website, there is an additional fee to pay. Also, no word on what individuals who do not have a bank account (checking or savings) or a credit or debit card will be able to do. It is unwise to send cash through the mail, as it's "just asking to get stolen". So, I'd contact the FCC directly for information if you fall into that category. But, I believe that any government benefit (disability payment), tax refund, etc., are now done by electronic funds transfer (EFT) to a bank account, and are NOT mailed to the individual...to avoid being stolen. DS). When the FCC receives the examination information from the VEC, it will email a link with payment instructions to each successful candidate who then will have 10 calendar days from the date of the email to pay. After the fee is paid and the FCC has processed an application, examinees will receive a second email from the FCC with a link to their official license. The link will be good for 30 days. Additionally, the FCC stated that applications processed and dismissed will not be entitled to a refund. This includes vanity requests where the applicant does not receive the requested call sign. The FCC published the notice in the Federal Register on March 23, 2022, stating that the amateur radio application fees, including those associated with Form 605 application filings, would become effective on April 19, 2022. Further news and instructions will follow as the FCC releases them. ** FCC Instructions (not applicable until fees take effect on April 19): If paying fees for an application filed via the Universal Licensing System, please use the CORES FRN Registration system. FEE SCHEDULE (not applicable until fees take effect on April 19): INDIVIDUALS $35 FEE: New, modification (upgrade and sequential call sign change), renewal, and vanity call sign applications. All fees will be per application. NO FEE: Administrative updates, such as a change of name, mailing or email address, or license cancellation. AMATEUR RADIO CLUBS $35 FEE: New, renewal, trustee change, and vanity call sign applications. All fees will be per application. NO FEE: Administrative updates, such as a change of name, mailing or email address, or license cancellation.

The Kentucky CW Traffic Net from Ray, WB4ZDU
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 03:24:51 +0000 (UTC) From: "Raymond G. Smith" <wb4zdu@...> To: n4lg@... Subject: The Kentucky CW Traffic Net Good evening Bill. This is WB4ZDU - Ray Smith. I am writing you in the hope that you will share this email with your local club members. I am the net manager of KYN, the Kentucky CW Traffic Net. To my knowledge KYN is the only state-wide traffic net that handles traffic in preparation for an emergency. KYN has been in existence for well over 60 years. We meet nightly at 0200Z on 3537 KHz. I am writing to you because we need at least one (and would love to have more than 1) station in the Nicholasville and surrounding area to handle traffic (messages) that come to KYN. The traffic net normally lasts between 10 and 20 minutes each night. It is not necessary that a person check in to the net every night, although some stations do. It is important, however, that KYN have the ability to handle messages going to any place in Kentucky, and having someone from the Nicholasville and surrounding area being part of KYN is very much needed. Several KYN members have been handling traffic on KYN for well over 20 years and obviously enjoy it. We are not a "speed" net. Typically, the net is operated at about 13 words per minute, although the net control station always slows down when appropriate. I don't know if you have any Zoom meetings, but if you do I would very much like the opportunity to tell your club members about KYN. If you or any of your members have any questions or would like to talk with me please let me know. For those members of your club that enjoy CW and public service I think that they would find KYN to be a lot of fun. Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated. 73 Ray, WB4ZDU
