The UALR Ham Radio Club is resuming ham radio license exams, with these
guidelines:

1) Pre-registration is required, with a maximum of 15 examinees accepted.
The next test date (final approval pending) is Saturday, June 19, at 10am,
with a deadline of 10am on Thursday, June 17. If no one signs up, the
session is canceled. Please contact Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, at wx4qz@arrl.net
or (501) 690-8325 - please leave a message, and I'll reply as soon as
possible.

2) On exam day, if one feels ill (cough, sore throat, fever, etc.); or
has within the last 14 days, had COVID-19 symptoms, been exposed to
someone with COVID-19, or had a COVID-19 shot, please stay home, and
do NOT come to the exam session.

While testing starts at 10am, examinees should arrive in the exam room
no later than 10:30am. Free parking's available on the north side of the
Ottenheimer Library. Testing will be in Room 517 of Fribrough Hall (the
former Natural Sciences Building). In the exam room, food or drinks are
not allowed, plus only the examiners and examinees will be admitted. To
prevent cheating (which will NOT be tolerated), examinees may NOT bring
cellphones into the exam area.

Examinees MUST bring the following items, or they WON'T be allowed
to take the test(s):

A) A mask, which is to be worn in the exam building and room. It may be
removed once one exits the building. This applies to examiners and
examinees, whether or not they've had the shot(s).

B) A Photo ID (Drivers License, State ID, School ID, Military ID,
Passport). Those under 18 can bring a library card, a minor's work
permit, or the original of one's Birth Certificate. The ID's will
be returned to the examinee upon inspection by the VE Team.

C) If ever licensed as a ham radio operator, the original and a copy
of it, whether expired or not. The original will be returned after
inspection, and the copy will be sent off with the exam items.

Partial credit is available for lapsed General, Advanced, and Amateur
Extra Class licenses.

D) A copy of any CSCE's issued within the last 365 days, if their
license doesn't reflect such.

E) A Federal Registration Number (FRN), AND an Email Address. Examinees
without an FRN should go to https://tinyurl.com/njmmjjbv -- and follow
the prompts to fill out the form. Examinees must also answer whether
or not they've had a felony conviction in state or federal court; such
info must be supplied to the FCC - details are located at
http://www.arrl.org/fcc-qualification-question

F) Cash (exact change) or a check/money order, payable to ARRL/VEC for
$15. On a date to be announced, examinees will also pay a $35 fee at
https://apps.fcc.gov/FeeFiler/login.cfm

If they bring a calculator, it must be inspected to be sure it has no
formulas in the memory.

Scratch paper, paperwork, pens, and pencils, will be provided.

If anyone has questions, they should contact VE Team Liaison, Daryl Stout,
WX4QZ, at the contact info that's noted above.
