Hi Howard!
The reason I am traveling to Long Beach is that it is the soonest and
nearest location for the test. A few times a month, there are other closer
locations, but none within the next couple of weeks. The Technician test
question pool is set to change on June 30; so I am striving to pass this
test before the question pool changes since it is the current pool for which
I have prepared.

Richard,
Why do you have to travel so far to take your test? Just curious, inquiring
minds want to know!
