Saturday February 14 is our regularly scheduled quarterly VE test
session at 2:00 pm. The test location will be the 118 Lemons Drive at
the Tupelo Airport. This is the building occupied by UAM, south of the
National Guard Armory, where the Tupelo Amateur Radio Club has met in
the past. If you know of anyone who has been planning to take an exam,
please pass a reminder to them.

Those taking exams need to bring photo ID, any valid CSCE’s, and $10
exam fee. Since May 20, 2021, all amateur examination applicants are
required to provide an FCC Registration Number (FRN) to the Volunteer
Examiners (VEs) before taking an amateur exam. Applicants who already
have an FCC license, whether for amateur radio or in another service,
already have an FRN and can use the same number. All prospective new
FCC licensees, however, will be required to obtain an FRN before the
examination and provide that number to the volunteer examiners on the
Form 605 license application. I can provide instructions to anyone
needing to obtain an FRN number.

Those wishing to take exams should notify me of their intention to sit
for an exam at dannyrgrimes@gmail.com or 662-322-2201. Our standing
policy is that, if by the Friday before the test, we appear to have no
examinees planning to test, the test session is subject to
cancellation.

VE’s please email me if you can attend so that I will know that we have
enough examiners to cover the session.

Thanks,

Danny
