School Testing

Greetings,

Once you sign up you'll be scheduled to take a ham radio license exam Saturday 5/23/2026 @ 12:00pm noon. The test will be held at the Indian Land High School. Please be on-time as the exam will start promptly at 12:00pm noon. If you are bringing someone to test or know someone that wants to test, please eMail me back to let me know. Please read the instructions below as they are required steps and will make the process go much smoother...

For current UNLICENSED persons taking their test for the first time: If you haven't done so already, you will first need to register for an FRN on the FCC website. Every single person testing MUST have their own FRN number, even if there is 2 or 3 family members each will need their own FRN). Go to this link: https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do and click Register and then select Individual account. Follow the rest of the directions to make your account. Once finished you will need to print your FRN account information out and bring that with you to the test session; an FRN is required before you can test. If you don't do this it will severely delay things. Also, besides a printed copy of your FRN info, you will also need to bring 2 forms of ID (1 at least being a photo ID), and $12.00 cash per person for the test fee (change may not be available if not exact). If you pass and want to attempt the next higher element it is free!

You will be given a blank sheet of scratch paper in case you have anything you need to work out during the exam. Pens and pencils will be provided for you but if you'd like to bring your own you're more than welcome to. Please being exact change for your test fee if possible, we may not have exact change to give you back. Covid masks are optional at this time, masks are NOT provided you will need to provide your own should you want to wear one. Also, if you'd like to join our ham club the dues are $20.00 per year if you want to bring that as well; we would love to have you join us as we have a lot of experienced hams that will assist you any way they can! Other than that, good luck, make sure you come with all the right answers in your head, and we will see you Saturday at 12:00pm! If you have any questions or need clarification on anything at all, please let me know and I will do my best to assist you. See you Saturday!
