@0xF21D Not in Houston, but this seems to be up @mattblaze 's alley.

@davep @mattblaze I'm going to try the online route. @ai6yr pointed me to hamstudy.org and there's online sessions listed.

@0xF21D These listings are usually great: https://hamstudy.org/sessions

Also, there are still a couple of VECs doing remote/online exams.

0xF21D, 3 months ago

@ai6yr I was wondering if remote/online was a thing. I'll check this out. Thank you!

@0xF21D Online is a thing, though not as much as it was at the height of the pandemic.

Anchorage ARC VEC are the folks that have been doing online the longest.

I'd steer clear of "Patriot American" just because the name infers this might be funding right wing activities nowadays :-( (no idea, but...)

I did both my Tech and General exams remotely through the Anchorage ARC VEC last year and had a great experience both times. Really friendly and supportive crowd.

@ai6yr @0xF21D yeah, +1 for https://ham.study/ (same thing as hamstudy.org) just different URL

I took my extra online via the GLAARG back in 2020, they were very good and professional

good luck!

@k8vsy @0xF21D I'm a GLAARG VEC ;-) If they are still doing it, go with them.

@ai6yr @k8vsy @0xF21D

Yep, GLAARG is still at it. I've done two exams with them in the past 3 months.

@knowattitude @ai6yr @k8vsy I signed ip for a testing session with GLAARG next weekend.
