Amateur Radio Examinations All amateur radio examination sessions conducted by the WVARA are coordinated through the Laurel VEC. There is never any test fee. Licenses are normally issued the next business day following the test session. Pre-registration for an examination session is preferred, but walk-ins are accepted. You MUST have an FCC Registration Number (FRN) before you arrive at the examination session. If you currently hold an amateur radio license or any other license issued by the FCC (GMRS, GRO, etc.), then you already have an FRN. How to Get an FRN Online Monthly Examination Sessions Regularly-scheduled amateur radio examination sessions are held at 9:30 a.m. on the 2nd Saturday of every month except for the month of March. Due to the the WVARA Spring Hamfest. being held on the 2nd Saturday in March with no suitable space available at or near the hamfest location to hold testing, there will not be an examination session in March. The next monthly examination session will held be on July 9, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. Registering for a session ahead of time will allow some of your paperwork to be prepared in advance and will speed up the check-in process when you arrive at the session.  You may pre-register for a session any time prior to 12 midnight EST/EDT on the Thursday before the session.
