License Exams at the 2007 Hamvention® Exams for all license classes (Technician, General and Amateur Extra) will be offered at the 2007 Dayton Hamvention®. Exams will be offered Friday (May 18) at 2:30 pm and Saturday (May 19) at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. The exam room is in SE corner of the main arena building. New this year! The FCC has eliminated the requirement to pass a Morse Code test for any amateur license, effective Feb. 23. Fees What to bring Paperwork Previous / current license credit CSCE credit Advanced Registration / Walk-ins Volunteer VEs Questions Fees What to bring / not bring Paperwork Social Security Number: FCC regulations require that you submit your social security number or an FCC issued FRN number with your paperwork. If you already have an FRN (for example from a personal Marine Radio or GMRS license), you should use the FRN to avoid confusion at the FCC). Foreign citizens who are not required to have a Social Security number may obtain an FRN by visiting the FCC's ULS website at: Current Technician license issued prior to March 21, 1987: This gives you credit for elements 2 and 3 and qualifies you for upgrade to General after completing only paperwork (i.e. no exam). Expired Technician license issued prior to March 21, 1987: This gives you credit for element 3 only. You will need to pass element 2 to obtain a license and then you will earn a General license. Current Technician license issued on or after March 21, 1987: This gives you credit for element 2 only. You need to pass element 3 to earn a General class license. Current General Class or Advanced license: These give you credit for elements 2 and 3. You need to pass element 4 to earn an Amateur Extra license. Expired Licenses: With the exception of the expired Technician license issued prior to March 21, 1987, an expired license confers no credit. * Note: if a license has expired but is still within the two year grace period for renewal, it can be applied for the same credit as a current license. However, an expired license confers no operating privileges. If you are using a license for credit, we must see the original of the license and must file a photocopy of it with your paperwork. If you don't have the original, contact the FCC (1270 Fairfield Rd; Gettysburg, PA 17325-7245). Provide them with as much information about your license: call, approximate date issued, name issued to and address issued to. They may be able to provide you with a letter that can serve as proof. If you use a FCC letter as proof, we must see the original and file a photocopy with your paperwork. Credit for an unexpired CSCE An unexpired CSCE for element 3 and a current Technician Class license will earn you a General Class license. Unexpired CSCE's for elements 3 and 4 and a current Technician Class license will earn you an Amateur Extra Class license. With the elimination of the Morse Code requirement, there is no longer any credit for an element 1 (Morse Code) CSCE. If you are using an unexpired CSCE for credit, we need to see the original and must file a photocopy with your paperwork. If you have lost your CSCE, do not contact the FCC as they have no record of CSCE's, Instead, contact the local VE team or the VEC that issued the CSCE. Advanced Registration / Walk-ins Walk-ins will be welcome provided we have resources to accommodate them. However, those with advanced registration and confirmation emails will be given first priority.
