Hi april,
I wish you the best on your exam. I am not very active at present, but when
I was involved in my local ham club, they were pretty good about letting me
get involved in activities and were usually good about helping with
transportation, etc. I even went to a few Field Day campouts. Like just
about any other group endeavor, it has to do with demonstrating
assertiveness and competence as an individual.
Again, I wish you the best.
Andy
