LayerOne 2013 is less than 24 hours away! If you are at the hotel on Friday night we’ll be hanging out in the Elements bar & restaurant at the hotel. Come say hello!

Saturday night’s entertainment this year is a Casino Night held in the Madera Ballroom at the hotel (the same room as daytime presentations)! Attendees will have a fine dinner and be able to play a number of table games. Games include Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Craps, and Roulette! For bonus points, come dressed in your finest evening wear.

Sincerely,
The LayerOne Staff

This year we will have a Volunteer Examiner (VE) team on-site to do Part 97 testing for all three Amateur Radio License classes. Testing will be held in the meeting room outside the Madera Ballroom at 18:00 on Saturday (after the last talk of the evening, before the party).

The cost is $14 per exam (cash only) and must be paid prior to test taking. To take an exam at LayerOne just sign-up and bring $14 cash and two forms of identification (one should be a government-issued photo ID). If you are upgrading to a higher license class, you also need to bring a paper copy of your existing license. Walk-ins are accepted, but signing-up ahead of time is highly recommended!

Good luck to everyone who takes the test!

Sincerely,
The LayerOne Staff
