Ham Testing in April

Monterey Bay Amateur Radio Association (MBARA) announces that our free, quarterly test date is set for the last Thursday in April. This event is conducted with the support of the American Legion Post 694.

For those interested in taking the test, please remember that before you can get on the air, you need to be licensed and know the rules to operate legally. US licenses are good for 10 years before renewal, and anyone may hold one except a representative of a foreign government. In the US, there are three license classes—Technician, General, and Extra.

Exam Candidates: You are REQUIRED to register in the FCC CORES system and receive an FCC Registration Number (FRN) before exam day.

To find the time and location of the test, please visit our Calendar.
