[FARC] License testing during HAM FEST

[Bob Moroney]

Joseph,
The testing session at the Frederick Amateur Radio Club's Father's Day 
Hamfest will start at 9:00 AM on Sunday, June 17th. 

Pre-registration is encouraged.  You can pre-register on the web at 
http://cs.yrex.com/ve-regcc.htm

The session is held in Building 13 at the Frederick County Fairgrounds, 
which is at 797 E. Patrick St. in Frederick.  

The ARRL VEC testing fee is $14.00, due at the test session.   Best to 
bring a check, although cash is acceptable.  Credit cards are not 
accepted. 

The VEC testing fee is separate from the Hamfest admission donation of 
$6.00, which gets you into the Hamfest and gets you into the drawings 
for door prizes and the main Ham Radio equipment prizes.  Be sure to get 
your ticket stub into the drawing barrel as soon as you can so that 
you're in the running for all the drawings.  You probably already know 
this, but proceeds from the Hamfest support the Frederick Amateur Radio 
Club's educational and public service activities, including a Club 
scholarship administered through the Foundation for Amateur Radio. 

To apply for your Technician license, you'll need to show positive photo 
identification, such as a current driver's license, military ID or 
passport, or in lieu of that, two other forms of identification such as 
a library card plus bills addressed to you, etc.  You'll need to know 
your SSN in order to complete the license application forms.  Blank 
forms will be available at the test session.

If you're not already doing so, I would encourage you to take as many 
free practice exams as you can between now and the Hamfest, via the 
qrz.com web site, http://www.qrz.com/p/testing.pl .  The randomized 
exams are fine, but it also helps to just plow through the whole 
question pool to ensure that you're up to speed for the real thing.

If you have any other questions or concerns, you can reach me at 
301-831-5060 or by email at k9cmr at arrl.net, or feel free to post 
questions to the group here on the reflector.

73, Bob K9CMR
