Additional information:
The Bristlecone conference room is right inside the main entrance, just past the reception desk.
Very easy to find. It's also directly across the hall from the Sage Cafe' (the hospital cafeteria).
If you would like to stay for it, after the exam session we have a question and answer session. If you've purchased a new radio and need help programming it. Bring it! We will gladly assist you in learning how to program it. If someone is ready to take the test, and needs to take the exam while its fresh in their mind. Contact Greg, he might be able to arrange a special session.

What you need:
- Your photo ID.
- $15 Cash or check, Sorry we can't take cards.
- I always suggest bringing an extra $15 dollars. It's a big question pool and for most of us there's always a chance getting all the questions we don't know. So for a second fee we will give you another test. We've had many people do this a pass with flying colors.
- It's now required that you obtain a Federal Registration (FRN) number before your exam session. If you already have another FCC license, such as a GMR, GROL, or Pilot Radio Operator's, your FRN will be on that license. If not you will need to register at https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do Just click REGISTER in the lower middle of the page, and follow the instructions.
- If your upgrading to the next level of amateur license please bring a copy of you current license to be turned in with the exam paperwork. The Reference Copy from the FCC web site is acceptable. Click this link to the get a copy of your license: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp
After passing your exam:
Your $35 license fee will need to be paid to the FCC. For information on when and how you will be contacted,
and how to pay the fee. Click this link: http://www.arrl.org/fcc-application-fee
(a Reference copy from the FCC web site is acceptable, it doesn't have to be the Official copy)
