Licensing Classes & Testing
    The next test session will be at our Hamfest on October 10th. at the same site as the Hamfest.  Applicants need to arrive by 8:30 a.m.  We are not going to accept walk-ins.  Applicants will need to pre-register. We have 6 applicants that have reserved a place at the hamfest.  To reserve your place to be tested please email us at aa5uy@arrl.net or oarc@w5sla.net.   If social distancing is still required we will only be able to accommodate so many at this test session.  The space is going to be measured and we will have to limit how many can be in the room at any time. Again please email us if you planning to test with us.  If the restrictions are lifted then we can test more at one time. We generally hold test sessions one a quarter.   Please check below for what to bring to a test session.  Anyone trying for their Technician's license can get their FRN numnber from the FCC and we ask that new applicants do this.   When posted, the dates will be here and also on the calendar as well as the ARRl's Site.  Anyone with special needs, should contact us now.  If we do not have enough VE's present we may not be able to accommodate you.    Please  have the exact amount for this test fee which is $15.00 at this time.
