FCC guidelines require that two identification documents be inspected on all applicants. If at all possible, at least one of them should be a state driver's license with a photograph on it, in the case of a minor a school identification card will serve.  These documents are needed to positively identify each person.

A clear unaltered copy of your latest existing FCC Issued Amateur License Grant and copies of any CSCE's not reflected on the most current license. These copies will not be returned to you.  Reproduction facilities will not be available at the test location.

A non-erasable ball point pen, supplies will be available at the test location but may be in limited supply depending on the number of examinees present.  Scratch paper will be limited to that supplied at the testing facility and must be returned with all testing materials (used or not).

All electronic equipment including cell phones, pagers, PDA's, HT's, etc. must be powered off while inside the testing facility.  Electronic calculators (with no stored memory or with memory erased) will be the only exception.   Equipment that can not be turned off must be left outside of the testing facility.

The examination fee is $14, examinees may take as many exam elements in a single session as they feel they can successfully complete for a single session fee.  Retesting of a failed element will be treated as an additional session and require payment of an additional session fee.  The retaking of failed elements will be at the Volunteer Examiners' discretion.

Arrangements should be made for the care of children (other than those being examined) outside of the testing location.  Every effort will be made by the Examiners to keep noise level to an absolute minimum, examinees will be asked to return to a future session if distracting behavior is observed.  In effort to reduce distractions for those taking exams, only examinees and examiners for the session will be allowed in the immediate testing area, all others will be asked to leave.

Special arrangements can and will be made that resources allow for special circumstances, these will be handled on a case by case basis.  Contact Dave Cochran (N0TRQ) via telephone 936.201.0696 or email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
