Subject: New Tech Exams, ExamWin Software and CSCEs

New Technician Exams and ExamWin Software.

As you are aware, new Technician Class Element 2 exams are to be used at your test sessions beginning July 1, 2006.

For ARRL VE teams who are Formally Field stocked, five new Technician class test design booklets will be coming to you via priority mail during the last week in June. Please discard any existing Technician class test booklets (2003 and 2004 series) on or after Midnight, June 30, 2006, as they will no longer be valid.
For ARRL VE teams who are using the ExamWin Software,the updated version has been released and is available on the ARRL VEC web page www.arrl.org/arrlvec/examwin.

New ARRL/VEC CSCE.

Handing out ARRL membership invitations to candidates just got easier! The new CSCE is now a 4-part document, designed to make distributing ARRL membership information simple. We know that most of you want a healthy and growing ARRL and a healthy and growing Amateur Radio community; it's probably one of the reasons you became a VE in the first place. We know you're always looking for ways to help your candidates, and Amateur Radio as a whole. For someone who has just passed an exam, it's an excellent time to help him or her get the most out of their Amateur Radio experience. ARRL membership helps them do just that. But please, no hard sell. We don't want anything to detract from the purpose of an exam session.
To complete the new CSCE, use a ballpoint pen and press hard enough for the information to transfer through to the fourth sheet of paper. When separating the carbon copies of the CSCE, the first sheet (white) and the second sheet (blue) are given to the candidate, the third sheet (pink) must be sent to the ARRL VEC and the fourth sheet (yellow) is to be retained by the VE team. (The prior version of the CSCE is still valid and may also be used at your sessions.)
