Several members of the WM7X VE Testing Team will be on-site to offer Technician, General and Extra element exams. This team is traveling from Washington state, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania to be with us.
It is highly recommended that you PRE-REGISTER for the Exam. If not, you will need to register when you arrive. Test fee is $15. You will need to register for an FRN to take an amateur radio exam. If you need assistance, the team can help you through the process.
