    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to Sean Dennis on Tue Oct 21 22:21:20 2025
    Sean,

    I am an ARRL-accredited VE with the Laurel VEC out of Laurel,
    Maryland. It's one of the oldest VEC groups and they do not
    charge a test fee for any amateur radio license test.

    I want to say that the Laurel VEC has now accredited a VE Team
    with Courage Kenny Handi-Hams...so they can do exams at their
    yearly fall radio camp.

    I record the monthly audio transcript for the visually impaired
    of the Journal of the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA).
    It takes about 8 hours to get everything done, but I know that
    many blind and visually impaired hams enjoy this. I started doing
    it just over a year ago, when the last guy (who had done it for
    several years), retired.

    Having had poor eyesight much of my life, I know what a benefit
    this is.

    73,

    Daryl Stout, N5VLZ, QCWA VHF+ Net Manager

    ... I watch what I eat...from the plate to the mouth.
