<\/a> Examinations for all classes of Amateur Radio licenses are conducted under the auspices of ARRL-VEC.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>All Applicants must provide a Federal Registration Number (FRN) and current email address. If you do not have a FRN, you must apply to the FCC to receive one BEFORE you come to the exam.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0To apply for a FRN, visit the FCC\u2019s log-in page (https:\/\/apps.fcc.gov\/cores\/userLogin.do<\/a>) and the FCC\u2019s Registration Information Page (https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/new-users-guide-getting-started-universal-licensing-system-uls<\/a>). It really is a quick and easy process.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Applicants for license upgrade already have a Federal Registration Number, which can be found on their current FCC license. Cost of examinations is $15. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you plan on attending a test session KINDLY send an email to nr5at AT ARRL . NET to let us know you wish test and which license class you plan to test for. This helps us prepare!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
