VE sessions: Volunteer Examiners will give tests to anyone who is upgrading their class of license or going for their first license test. We will give all exam elements, Novice thru Extra Class including all code elements. Make sure you have 2 forms of ID. If you are currently licensed bring in your original license and a photostat. Also, if you hold any CSCE's bring each one plus a photostat of each.

We have been doing volunteer examinations since May 1995. Our team has licensed many of the people you hear out there today. Our team will cater to special need situations, such as, special sessions if enough people are ready for testing, any handicapped situation and any other situation to make sure people who want to get their license get a shot at it. The team has traveled to a lot of homes, colleges and even the ARRL to give exams.
