Okay, WHAT IS A VE Session?  It is a name used to confuse NEW Hams before they can become Hams!

A VE Session is a test session, for people to become Hams or for Hams to upgrade their licenses.

The VE refers to the great folks that VOLUNTEER (Volunteer Examiners)  their time to administer the tests

Classes and Tests are typically offered twice a year in the Llano/Burnet County area by the HLARC members
