AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE TESTING:
HARK offers FREE amateur radio license testing through the Laurel VEC. Tests can be given at 2:30 P.M. on the 3rd Tuesday monthly and at other times UPON REQUEST to Duane, KD0KYK, our VEC (Volunteer Examiner Coordinator). To request a test session, please contact Duane via email. To expedite setting-up your test session, please include in your email: 1) Your full name, address, and phone number; 2) Call sign (if already a ham), current license class and FRN; 3) If you will be a new ham, it's best to obtain your FRN first to avoid giving your SSN. Please see the FCC website at https://apps.fcc.gov/cores to create a username and obtain an FRN.
