If I recall correctly, DEF CON told Brendan he couldn't do an exam there
last year (after running exams successfully there for some previous
years).  There wasn't going to be a test, so Brendan organized one at
B-Sides instead:

Then someone else ended up running an exam at DEF CON:

I'm looking for info on how many people tested and passed at the DEFCON ham
test last year. It's been discussed at the DAGR meetings a couple times so
I assume some of you know something. :)

I found some anecdotes but nothing authoritative or final. Also does anyone
know whether Brendan O'Connor K3QB was the organizer or if someone else
took that on?
