Radio Society of Tucson: RST sponsors an ARRL Volunteer Examineer (VE) team who administers a License Exam Session the first (1st) Thursday of each month, 7:00 P.M., at the:
Lighthouse YMCA,
2900 No. Columbus
Tucson, AZ.

Directions:

The YMCA is located between Grant Rd and Ft. Lowell (approx one block south of Ft Lowell) on Columbus. Enter thru the Main Lobby (North end of building) and check with the front desk to find out our testing location. They tend to shift us around to different buildings and/or rooms.

General Information:

Check-ins will be accepted until 7:30 P.M. unless prior arrangements have been made.
Matthew Grossman AC7IL is the ARRL VE Liaison. Although walk-ins are permitted, Matthew asks that you call him at 750-7189 or email at matthew@grossman.com if you plan to attend. Exams for all license classes will be offered.

Exam Fee:

Fee is $15.00 (cash, or check payable to ARRL-VEC) to test. You may take additional exams without additional fees long as you pass each exam taken. If you fail an exam and wish to retest or take a different exam, an additional $15.00 fee is required.

You will Need:

You "MUST HAVE" with you at time of the exam, the "original" and "one copy" of any current ham license, copy of any current CSCE's, and "two" forms of identification of which one should have your photo.

We Also Have:

As a service to the Candidates for VE testing, our team has the old call books for the years 1986 and 1985. These can be used to aid in grand fathering the old Technician class licenses prior to 1987 to a General class license. They were donated by Jim France KA9LDD: france@bestonline.net and Ron Pugh N3DZX: n3dzx@home.com. Our thanks to Jim and Ron.
