FCC Radio Exams – Second Saturday of Every Month
The Lawton Volunteer Examiner (VE) Team conducts examinations for Amateur Radio licenses on the second Saturday of each month at the Comanche County Fairgrounds, Wichita Room (Prairie Building), 920 SW Sheridan Rd, Lawton, OK 73505. The testing begins at 10:00 AM, after the Comanche County CERT meeting.
In April 2022, Congress directed the FCC to collect an application fee from each amateur radio licensee. The cost is $35, which the FCC collects on its website. Candidates with a license and are upgrading will not be assessed a fee. The fee charged by W5YI-VEC is $14.00; an exact change is appreciated.
If you are not yet licensed, you must obtain an FCC Registration Number (“FRN”) from the FCC CORES site before registering. The FCC requires licensees to obtain an FRN (“FCC Registration Number”) from the FCC’s CORES system before doing business with them. This is a one-time task that can be done at any time.
