    This week, the RSGB passed the fantastic milestone of 4,000 candidates
    passing their Foundation licence via remote invigilation. During 2020
    the Society implemented remote invigilation in stages for all three
    licence levels, to enable people to become involved with amateur radio

    Flood the membership coffers with Mongolian Hordes of untechnical CBers?

    Be careful what you wish for.



    A few years ago an acquaintance visited a club in the east mids to
    discover they were running foundations exams.

    One of the candidates unknown to the club had applied for a reader so a
    reader was organised because he had "difficulties" and qualified for a
    reader (someone to read the questions for him). This bloke was wearing a
    UPS uniform when he arrived and it turned out he drove an articulated
    lorry for the UPS parcel delivery company.

    Can you imagine the amount of reading and studying to get an HGV licence
    not to mention reading parcel labels.

    My acquaintance started asking questions of the invigilators.
    Apparently after "some clarification" the UPS man took the foundation
    exam without his reader and passed.

    The term "remote invigilations" really means "even easier to cheat" the
    exam.
