At our last club meeting, I was discussing the changes to the Extra Class question pool with someone, and the topic of memorizing the answers popped up. As I always do, I mentioned that many of the questions you can only get right by memorizing the answer. At that point, someone down the way piped up. “Not me,” he said, “I studied the material so that I didn’t have to memorize the answers.”

Remote license exams have been a hot topic lately. I’ve blogged about it, the ARRL reports that remotely administered testing is promising, and the W5YI VEC in conjunction with HamStudy.Org has also conducted some remote testing. I think that it’s safe to say that before long remote testing will be widely available.

I know this is kind of a long shot, perhaps someone has a QSL card or some info about the original W9ACW. If  you do, please contact me, and I’ll forward your message to Scott…Dan
