WHAT IS A VOLUNTEER EXAMINER?

The Federal Communications has set up a framework where Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (ARRL W5YI) work in liaison with the FCC, and coordinate testing sessions.

VE teams are formed and administer license exams through the VEC. The ARRL is one of 14 VECs. It is the largest.

We are your LMARS, friendly and professional, VE team.

Our volunteer team is made up of fellow Ham radio operators from the Central Florida area, some LMARS members, some not. We are a diverse group with a common love for the Ham radio hobby.

We hold test sessions six times a year at the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office in Sanford, FL. Most of our members volunteer and paticipate in the annual OARC hamcation test sessions, and some of our examiners volunteer to assist AES and OARC with their monthly test sessions.

We promise to do our best to provide a test session that is friendly, comfortable and as stress free as possible.
