VE TESTING AND UPGRADE SESSION COMING UP SATURDAY July 20, 2024!!!!!!!!
As of 7/8/24 we have one confirmed so unless he cancels we are going with the session.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE WALK IN TEST, UNLESS WE HAVE CONFIRMED TEST ON THE SCHEDULED TEST DAY. ALL FUTURE TEST SESSIONS WILL REQUIRE A 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. I HOPE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS.
========================

We will be having VE testing at the NEMRA, Inc club room Saturday July 20, 2024 beginning at 9am. We start at 9 am. We will be at the Old Fulton Grammar School located at 603 S Cummings St in Fulton, MS in the NEMRA club room.
Look for the red testing sign for the entrance to the old school house (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, took 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.
YOU MUST HAVE A FRN OR A VALID CALL SIGN OR YOU CANNOT TEST.
VERY IMPORTANT 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 and must be paid online within 10 days of submission to the FCC.
=======================
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

If you have an Amateur (Ham) or GMRS License, you already have an FRN go to : http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp to get your number if needed.
=============================================
You must first register with the FCC and obtain a 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).

Walk-ins are accepted ONLY if the test session has RSVP'd applicants who are scheduled to test. If no one RSVPs by day before, we will cancel the session.
Make sure that you have your FRN prior to coming to Fulton so please RSVP as soon as possible.
