:: VE TESTING ::

BARC offers Amateur Radio license examination opportunities on the first Sunday of odd-numbered months, during the annual BirmingHAMfest, and at other designated times.

  1. All test candidates bring 2 forms of identification, one with picture. Candidates for a license upgrade bring original and a copy of current FCC license. We will keep the copy for your application. Please bring a pen for filling out forms. We will supply pencils and scratch paper for testing.

  2. Please arrive at the test site 10-15 minutes early to allow for completing the necessary forms.

  3. We now charge the standard fee of $15.00, except for students grades 1 through 12 who pay no fee for their first test. Retakes the same day will pay the fee.
