We held the test today (5/12/12) and had 11 people take their
license exams. Three people earned their Technician license,
five people earned their General license, and two people earned
their Extra license.

The following VE's were at the exam: Dave N7TZK; Dick WA7VKE;
Paul W7EKG; Frank KK7AT; Jim KO7P; Craig W0WN; and
myself, Mike Vaughn, WB7DNU.

All in all it was a very good exam and the VE team did an
outstanding job as usual. We had four people from Driggs,
one person from Rigby, and one from Idaho Falls.
The other five people were from here in Pocatello.
