Saturday May 10 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 same location where the Tupelo Amateur Radio Club
usually meets. 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
