Perhaps it could be made a strong recommendataion (again?) that hirings are conditional (or not announced) until an exam pass can be reported. We can read that there is a family of amateur radio support available, but then there's some words missing. Various organisations, like the MIT Radio Society, hold regular (remote) exams at the moment because of Corona (eg. 1 exam today, 2 exam dates next week): http://w1mx.mit.edu/ham-exams/ ARDC recently gave a grant to MIT Radio Society, but it's also missing from the list: https://www.ampr.org/grants/ Something else is also missing: 2021-05-15 (last week) was the deadline for filing AMPR's charitable accounts. Was this done? * * * Once again, warm congraulations, and welcome to the AMPRNet, or ARDC, or 44net... a somewhat confusing arrangement of pieces to explain to others, so if a history lesson is helpful, some of it is collated on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet -Paul Sladen
