VE EXAM SESSIONS

Our team of Volunteer Examiners administers all four elements of the amateur exams on a regular basis, as well as during our semi-annual Hamfests. We're affiliated with the ARRL's VEC, and our VE team offers the convenience of a centralized location in New York City and a friendly no-pressure environment, while adhering to the strongest standards of integrity.

Please consider the Hall of Science Amateur Radio Club's VE sessions whether you're taking your first Technician's test, doing the easy 5 WPM Morse Code exam or upgrading to General or Extra-class. Your $14 test fee entitles you to take any or all of the four exam elements, so you can go from no license to Extra-class in one session!

Exams are conducted at the New York Hall of Science beginning at 10:00 AM sharp. We're located in Queens, at 47-01 111th Street (at 49th Avenue), just a short walk from the 7 train and with plenty of on-site parking.

Pre-registration is requested for our regular monthly exam sessions (for free admittance to the Hall). Please send an e-mail to n2ytf@arrl.net or contact Tom Tumino, President if you'd like to pre-register. NOTE: Pre-registration is NOT required for the VE sessions at our two hamfests. Hamfest exams start at 10:00 and walk-ins may register up until 11:00.

As an added bonus, during our HAMFEST SESSIONS ONLY, if you're not a member of our club and you pass any element of the exam, the Hall of Science Amateur Radio Club will be pleased to extend a complimentary membership to you for the balance of the calendar year.

All four exam elements will be given and will be graded on the spot--no waiting to see if you were successful. If you successfully upgrade, you'll be able to use your newly-earned privileges immediately!
