The Tri-City Amateur Radio Club will be conducting an Amateur Radio License Exam on Saturday January 13th from 9 AM to 10:30 AM at the East Great Plain Fire House in Norwich CT.
Reservations are required and walk ins will not be accepted.
Exam requirements can be found at: http://www.arrl.org/what-to-bring-to-an-exam-session
Masks are required, hand sanitizer will be available and encouraged, and social distancing will be maintained. The ARRL Exam Fee for 2021 is $15.00.
Please email TriCityARC@gmail.com for further information or to request a reservation for a testing seat.
If you don’t already have an FCC FRN number please go to the following website to obtain one. It is now a requirement for all amateur radio operators.
https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do
“An FRN, or FCC registration number, is a 10-digit number that is assigned to a business or individual registering with the FCC. “
The FCC is requiring this as they want to stop asking for people’s Social Security Numbers, which is what they have required for many years. In addition, you will need an active email address.
Hi Tim, This is Frank Hero.
I plan on going to Seattle next month and returning December 9th.. I would like to sign up for the Technician and General exam but there may be some concerns. Since I will be flying back just before the exam there may be some issues like quarantining (due to the Coviad-19 pandemic) for 14 days in which I will not be able to take the exam. How do you recommenced to proceed?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Frank
Hi Frank,
