Since there is no scheduled VE Testing during the month of June (the next test session is July 19th), we figured you need something else to occupy your time with! Don’t blame us if you can’t solve The Amateur Radio Crossword Puzzler, blame Chris Codella, W2PA….

Click on the puzzle above to download. Oh, and yes, we do have the answer key for you but only if you ask nicely–and are a member in good standing, of course! ;-)

There’s no better cure for this winter’s cabin fever than an upgrade to your license class! Well, perhaps a DXpedition to a sunny tropical island might be a close runner-up. Until then, why not take a chance and take a test? Here are the details:

January 18, 2009 @ 1:00 pm – Johnstone Supply Classroom (2nd Fl) 11000 Justin Drive, Urbandale, IA 50322. Registration starts at 12:30 pm and no one is admitted after 1 pm so get there early!

January 24, 2009 @ 7:00 pm – Iowa State Campus, Ames, 296 Town Engineering Building. Contact George (NP2N at 515-233-3535) to get on the list.
