Lansing VE Testing Held January 19, 2008-Results: Seven Pass!
The Lansing "Ham in a Day" Class, which was held recently, was a success. Class coordinator, Dennis 'Rocky' Beckner (K8DRB) was on hand Saturday morning as 6 of his graduates aimed to earn their Technician Class license. The results were fantastic as ALL six passed and left with huge smile on their faces.
In addition to the crew, our very own Ben Holcomb (WX8BEN) took on the General Class exam and left with his CSCE. What a great feeling to see seven people with CSCEs in hand as they leave the VE Session. Congratulations All!!!
Left Pic:It's all in a day's work for Lansing's Emergency Mgr., Trent Atkins and nephew, Joshua as they celebrate with their new CSCE. Right Pic: He's all smiles! Ryan is ready to play radio, once his callsign is revealed.
Antoni (left) beams with his freshly minted CSCE and plans to work with SKYWARN this year. Ken (right) is equally happy with his. When a class comes through like this, the credit goes to the students, as well as the teacher(s).
Mason resident, Dennis (left) is already looking at radios and getting his station plans in order. ARPSC guru, Ben (WX8BEN) came and conquered the General Class exam. Hey Ben, nice job on the test!

Six Pass!
The Lansing VE Team conducted their bi-monthly VE Session on Saturday, January
12th and we had SIX successful candidates! It's always exciting when 100%
of those testing make it and we want to congratulate them.
Lowell, Keegan and Jason successfully upgraded to General
Class at the Session, while Amy, Virginia and Tara each earned Technician
Class licenses. What an exciting day....not only do we welcome three new
Amateurs, but all three are Ladies! Looks like Julie's Net might grow a
bit on Tuesday evenings. Way to go everyone!
