Ham Exams –  VE Testing Schedule

2025 HAM EXAMS

EVERY OTHER MONTH AT

THE KIRTLAND LIBRARY

The Lake County Amateur Radio Association is holding its 2025 Amateur Radio license exams at the Kirtland Library, 9267 Chillicothe Road, on the following dates:  

      Saturday, June 7th                    Saturday, August 2nd

         Saturday, October 4th                Saturday, December 6th

This bi-monthly schedule is the first Saturday of every even-numbered, and are held at the Kirtland Library, 9267 Chillicothe Road. It is 1.7 miles south of I-90 on Route 306 (Chillicothe Rd). The library is on the left, just beyond the Marathon gas station.

The tests will start at 12 noon. Please arrive a few minutes earlier.

To register, you will need a NCVEC 605 Form, which will be available at the test. It is not necessary to pre-register, but if you would like to complete the form ahead of time, be sure it is the Sept 2017 version or later. You can find it by Googling “NCVEC quick-form 605” and clicking on the ARRL url for a pdf of the form. Please note the FCC requires you to provide a FRN (FCC Registration Number). Social Security Numbers are no longer accepted. If you are new to ham radio and don’t have a FRN, Google “New FRN” and follow the fcc.gov link.

If you are currently licensed, be sure to bring a copy of your license to the exam. The cost of the exam itself is $15.00, and if you wish to pay by check, it should be made out to the ARRL/VEC. Identification with your picture is also necessary, such as a driver’s license. If you have any questions, please contact Scott Farnham, KO8O, at (440) 256-0320, or scottfarnham@roadrunner.com

In addition to the $15 test fee, the FCC charges $35 to add you to the Amateur Radio database. The FCC will e-mail successful candidates instructions for payment directly to them. Payment must be made within 10 days of the e-mail. This charge does not apply to upgrades.
