[ILHam] [karc] VE Testing in September in DeKalb

[John B. Leonard Jr]

Reminder!

Amateur Radio/VE testing opportunities are coming up again on Saturday, 
September 19 here in DeKalb.   Time is 9:00.

A prospective examinee must make a reservation.  No walk-ins, sorry.

To make a reservation, email me or call 815-756-5159.

 From the "What to bring" checklist:
>
>   * _*Identification*_ - You will need TWO forms of identification,
>     one of them preferably with a photograph (a state-issued driver's
>     license is works well). You must satisfy the VEs that your
>     identity is positively established.
>   * _*Money*_ - You will need $14 to get anything processed. It can be
>     paid by cash or a certified check/money order. For personal checks
>     we will require a valid photo ID. We are unable to accept credit
>     cards.
>   * _*Paperwork (if you have a amateur radio license already)*_ - If
>     you are a holder of a current license and you are planning to
>     upgrade, you have to bring the original license and a photocopy,
>     and whatever current CSCEs you might have, and photocopies of
>     those. We'll need to match the originals and photocopies at the
>     session, and then send the photocopies into W5YI-VEC for your new
>     license.  For example, if you are currently a Technician, and have
>     already passed Element 4 (Extra), but still need to take Element
>     3, then you must bring the unexpired Element 4 CSCE (granted
>     within the last 365 days) so we can issue an Extra certificate if
>     you pass.  Also, if you are a holder of a current or expired
>     license to which the "grandfather" rules apply, please familiarize
>     yourself with the FCC regulations in Part 97, Section 505
>     concerning this (see below), and bring appropriate documentation.
>   * _*More Paperwork (for the FCC this time)*_ - The document which
>     must be filed with the the testing organization before your
>     license can be issued is called "NCVEC Form 605". It is available
>     from the NCVEC site in PDF format. You can get a copy from us at
>     the start of the session, or you can print it out ahead of time
>     (fill out Section 1 only). It will help us if you use distinctive
>     yellowish-colored paper stock similar to the original for that
>     one, but we'll take a plain white one too. Note that you should
>     not bring the full Form 605 from the FCC to our session, only the
>     abbreviated NCVEC version. Please write clearly in ink or type
>     when you fill it out.  The full FCC 605 form must be used if you
>     are filing it directly with the FCC, without W5YI or other VEC as
>     an intermediary, e.g. when you are applying for a club callsign or
>     a name change.
>   * _*FRN (FCC Registration Number)*_ - The form requires you to
>     provide your Social Security Number or the "FRN". If you'd rather
>     not give out the SSN, go to the FCC FRN registration page (ignore
>     the security certificate warning) and get the FRN number ahead of
>     the testing session.  If you already have an FRN, then you must
>     use it on form 605 instead of your SSN, or else the application
>     may be rejected. If you've done any ham-related business with the
>     FCC in the past 5 years or so, you most likely have an FRN. Look
>     it up on the FCC licensing page or an ARRL one.
