Testing

Are you ready to take your amateur radio (ham) license test?

Are you ready to take your upgrade test to another level?

Then let us help!

The Anoka County Radio Club schedules V.E. amateur radio testing sessions on most every 2nd Saturday of the month throughout the year. We are ready to test new and upgrading hams in all the current FCC elements.

And remember that you do not need to know Morse code (CW, element 1) to start your ham radio hobby! Take and pass the 35 question Technician (element 2) written test, wait just a few short weeks for the FCC to issue your license and you are ready to go on the air!

The Anoka County Radio Club's testing starts at 9:00am and we will continue to take walk-ins until 10:00am. We test at the Blaine City Hall

The ARRL VEC rules states that we must charge a $14 testing fee to pay for testing materials, postage and handling of the tests. No credit cards. Checks are preferred, and if you wish to pay by cash, exact change is very helpful.

You will need to following items with you on the day of the test:

	Some form of photo ID like a drivers license or student ID.
	You will need to know your Social Security Number (SSN).

If you are upgrading a current amateur license:

	The current FCC issued original amateur radio license.
	PLUS a COPY of the above current license.
	Any current original CSCEs for any previously passed elements.
	PLUS a COPY of the above CSCEs
	Your FCC issued FRN number.
