Well Comments on Holland Lakeshore swap.
Well the VE Exam I did make Extra Today and I will be getting a new call, the VE exam had approx 10-14 people, and ranged from Techs and also noticed another person was going from General to Extra and at least 2 were going for their Element 1 Morse Code.
======================================================

Swap itself? I will say Holland ARC did a Fine Job and I'll give it a A+, Lotta Vendors, Swap Tables, plenty of people, also the High School has a Excellent Cafeteria, food is better than any other place I have been to as swaps concerned, not just Rolls and POP, Sandwiches, fries, coffee, etc. I talked to alot of people I know, said hello to 911 Ottawa Central Disptach, Emergency Management, They had Fire Trucks to view , Semminars, and much more I could go on about things but too numerous to list and all I can say Yes Holland made a very sucuessfull swap!

======================================================

If they plan on a Extravanzga like this next year I hope they do.

If you have not visit them for awhile now you heard it DE me !
