Quincy testing? W9WE 

I am willing to do an extra test date on April 16.If any interested people let me know. I want everyone to be able to avoid extra charge if possible. I am not sure how cutoff dates would work according to FCC. And if we can get it done on paper soon enough.

> using the CORES FRN Registration system (CORES - Login). 
> 
> When the FCC receives the examination information from the VEC, it will
> email a link with payment instructions to each successful candidate who
> then will have
> 10 calendar days from the date of the email to pay. After the fee is
> paid and the FCC has processed an application, examinees will receive a
> second email from the FCC with a link to their official license. The
> link will be good for 30 days.
> 
> Additionally, the FCC stated that applications processed and dismissed
> will not be entitled to a refund. This includes vanity requests where
