If an aspiring ham or an upgrading ham choses CARA ARRL/VEC testing for a small charge of $15, he or she supports ARRL with some income to improve the future of amateur radio and represent American hams in contacts with FCC, legislators and international organizations.
Gordon West study book is available at Amazon link below.
A General Exam Class is scheduled for January 2019.

This would get a larger turnout if it was listed as a class and test on the ARRL website more interested parties could know about it, will there be a General Class in the near future following the Tech class??
I have contacted 4 people to let them know about the class and gave them the contact info for the Tech Class.
