Amateur Radio License Exams
STARS offers Amateur Radio License Exams at its Volunteer Examiner
Testing sessions. Please check
www.arrl.org/arrlvec
for the most current schedule of VE Testing sessions.
VE Testing Sessions are generally held on the 4th Saturday of each month.
Please check the actual schedule as these dates can shift to accomodate holidays
or special events. The testing sessions start at 9:00 AM. Please try your best
to be early to avoid disturbing others that are taking tests. Walk-ins are accepted
until 10:30 AM. Testing is held at the Midlothian Village Hall Community Room. Located at 14801 S Pulaski RD,
Midlothian, IL 60445. Near the base of their antenna tower.
You must bring a drivers license, state ID card, student ID card, or other
suitable form of picture ID. The fee for taking the exam is $14 cash. No checks,
credit cards, or other forms of payment are acceptable.
Relax, if you are taking your very first Amateur Radio Technician License
Examination. Get a good night sleep and eat a good breakfast. You will do just
fine. We will provide blank paper for you to use as scratch paper and collect
it from you when you have completed your test. You can bring a calculator if you
really think you need one, but you can not have any programmed formulas in it.
Which for a Technicians class exam a simple four function calculator is all you
could possibly need. Write out a set of notes for yourself to review the morning of
the test.
If you have a current valid Amateur Radio Station License and are upgrading
to a new Amateur Radio License Class, please remember to bring your original
and one copy of your current amateur radio station license, as well as your
original and one copy of any certificate(s) of successfull completion of
examination (CSCE) showing the credit you have for any examination ellements
you passed.
