What To Bring to a Test Session
What to bring to your test session:
1. If you intend to take the exam for the Technician class license, you must register for and receive an "FRN number" from the FCC before you come to the test session. It is done online and you will receive your FRN number immediately. You must bring the FRN number in order to take the exam. You cannot take the exam without an FRN number.
Read the following document for information about the FRN number: FCC registration Information

Every single session is available for any "walk-in" applicant. We pride ourselves in not requiring pre-registration to take an examination. Registration in the FCC's ULS system to obtain an FRN number is required as per the requirements of the ARRL-VEC.

Volunteer Exam Session in Mesquite, Nevada
The Virgin Valley Amateur Radio Club (VVARC) will be holding their, or at least my, first ARRL VE Exam Session on 6 January 2024 at 1:00 PM Pacific Time at the Mesquite Works STEAM Center.
Since this will be my first time conducting an exam session we will have limited Amateur Extra, General, and Technician exams. But certainly enough to accept walk-ins if you have some club members looking to take an exam.
Please have them contact me at ka0wwt@pm.me for any additional information.
I’d be thankful if you spread the word to your club members.
Regards,
Butch Turner, KAØWWT
