FCC Chair comments on amateur radio remote testing

*Ajit Pai* Chair of the FCC (USA's communications regulator) has publicly
thanked radio amateur *Sam Hulick KD9PGO* for highlighting the issue of
remote testing

Ajit Pai tweeted:
*Good news for aspiring amateur radio operators: the @FCC has clarified
that its rules allow remote testing and that remote testing doesn't require
prior FCC approval. Thanks to @SamHulick [KD9PGO] for bringing this to my
attention; hope this helps hams out
there! https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-20-467A1.pdf

Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (VEC's) in the USA started conducting
online remotely-invigilated exams in response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
It appears a number of amateurs have been bombarding the FCC with queries
about the validity of such exams. This forced the FCC to put out the
statement on April 30 in the PDF cited by Ajit Pai.

The FCC changed the regulations to permit Remote Exams way back in 2014 but
it seems many radio amateurs were unaware of this, see
