Hi Tim,
The general rule to remember is that the VE Test Sessions are the evening following the GFAARC club meetings.
The Great Falls Area Amateur Radio Club (GFAARC) usually meets on the first Monday of every month. So, as Jim has pointed out, the VE Test Sessions are usually on the first Tuesday of every month, - the following evening after the club meeting.
Elsewhere on this web site I have posted the GFAARC meeting dates for 2013. Look under "Montana Amateur Radio Clubs" / "Great Falls Area Amateur Radio Club" / "Club Activities".
The VE Test Session is held in the same location as the monthly GFAARC meetings - the conference room at the Cascade County DES building. Parking is behind the building, inside the fenced compound.
The DES building is located at 521 1st Avenue NW. This is the former location of the County Weed and Mosquito Management office, as well as the County vehicle shop (both of which have moved out to their new facilities near Manchester).
A VE Test Session is held up at the Glacier-Waterton Ham Fest in July, so often the July test session is not held in Great Falls. Call first to confirm the location of the July test session.
Due to Labor Day falling on the first Monday of September (2 September), the GFAARC monthly meeting has been delayed a week to 9 September 2013. This means the VE Test Session will also be delayed a week to 10 September 2013.
The VE Test Sessions for 2013 should be:
8 January 2013
5 February 2013
5 March 2013
2 April 2013
7 May 2013
4 June 2013
2 July 2013 (tentative-call to confirm)
6 August 2013
10 September 2013 (delayed one week due to Labor Day)
8 October 2013
5 November 2013
3 December 2013
