FCC Amateur Radio License

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) licenses an individual to operate in the Amateur Radio Service.  The written examination, which no longer requires a demonstration of telegraphy with Morse Code, is administered by Volunteer Examiners (VE) who are licensed Amateur Radio operators and specially training to provide this service.

MARC provides VE Testing sessions quarterly on the first Saturday of the months of February, May, August and November at 0900 and hosted by the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, 625 Montgomery Avenue in Bryn Mawr, PA.  The VE Testing sessions are held in the Church School (see maps below) and coordinated by Bob Lees W3ZQN.

More information on Amateur Radio licensure and study materials are available from the American Radio Relay League (ARRL),
