VE TESTING AND UPGRADE SESSION COMING
UP SATURDAY, April 19, 2025, @ 9am!!!!!!!
ALL TEST SESSIONS WILL REQUIRE AN RSVP, OR THE SESSION WILL CANCEL DAY BEFORE. THE COST OF FUEL AND TIME LOST BY THE VOLUNTEERS ON A NO-SHOW SESSION HAS CAUSED THIS CHANGE. WALK INS ARE STILL WELCOME IF WE HAVE A SESSION OPENED FOR SOMEONE WHO RSVP'D.
I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND.

We will be having VE testing at the NEMRA, Inc. clubroom Saturday, April 19, 2025, at 9am. We will be at the Old Fulton Grammar School located at 603 S. Cummings St. in Fulton, MS, in the NEMRA clubroom. Look for the red testing sign for the entrance to the old schoolhouse (south side).
There is NO FEE for the testing; please bring at least 2 types of ID; one needs to be a state-issued photo ID, a copy of your current license, and any CSCE's not reflected in your current license (example: you took the general test yesterday, passed, and want to take extra today, and the general upgrade has not been processed and posted yet).
As of Jan 1, 2021, Laurel VEC will no longer accept social security numbers; FRN only. The SS# entry has been removed from the application process and the session report. YOU MUST HAVE AN FRN OR A VALID CALL SIGN OR YOU CANNOT TEST.
NOTE: If you are testing for the Technician license, PLEASE follow the instructions below:
The FCC has begun the implementation of the $35 fee for Amateur Radio licenses !!
=======================
If you don't have an FRN, go to:
You will need to:
1) Register in CORES (in the middle)
2) Verify your email address and log in
3) Register for a new FRN
Notes:
● You will need access to your email
● Username must be an email address
● Use your LEGAL NAME. Do not use NICKNAMES.

You must first register with the FCC and obtain an FRN before you can test. We do not accept social security numbers any more. You must bring your FRN number with you for the testing paperwork, as this is the only number you will have to complete the application (no social security numbers).
