Thanks Jim. Hopefully we'll be there for the Feb test date.

Is there any information on the testing dates for 2013? My wife if studying and about ready to take her tech exam but i can't find the dates and when i tried to email Dawn Smith (AD7MT) it was returned as "Not deliverable". Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks
