Join us for breakfast and camaraderie beginning 830AM and we can do the testing starting around 930AM. Or arrive around 930AM and we’ll get right to testing. We are usually in a separate room from the main dining area.

To register you must have an FRN if you are applying for a new license. It is free and only takes a few minutes on the FCC’s website. Instructions are here: https://www.fcc.gov/new-users-guide-getting-started-universal-licensing-system-uls and in this video https://www.fcc.gov/rofrn .

Sign up for this exam: Scroll all the way down and press the "register" button.

Day of the test, examinees must bring:

• A copy of your license if you are upgrading (copies will be collected and submitted to FCC).

• A photo ID

• A check or money order made out to ‘ARRL-VEC’ for $15 (no cash is preferred but we can accept it)

• For candidates under age 18 the fee is reduced, only $5

• A pen for filling out the Form 605 application

• Pencils for filling out the answer sheet

• A simple calculator if you feel you need one — no smart devices (i.e. watch or phone) will be permitted

Also, if you are sitting for a new Technician license, the FCC will want a $35 license fee to be paid separately and subsequently to the FCC to get the license issued. This fee does not apply to upgrades.
