If you would like to find another Exam time and location:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good search tool (with radius map) is available at the ARRL Website: http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/exam_sessions\/search<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important note for any applicant for an initial license:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All new applicants must register in the FCC CORES system and obtain an FRN number, (FCC Registration Number)<\/em>, before the test session<\/strong>.  (Link to Apply for FRN<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must apply at least 1 week prior<\/strong>\u00a0to the date of the test as there is a delay in the initial registering\/setting up of a password and signing up for the FRN number. (In the past an applicant could simply give their social security number at the test session and the FCC would then issue them their FRN number for future use.\u00a0 This will no longer be the case.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Registering for the exam:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please preregister with Hope Francisco, AA8SN at the address below as it is helpful to have some idea of how many to expect.  (walk-ins are acceptable also.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
