Nets:

• TCARC holds a Swap & Local Info net every Sunday night at 8PM local time on the 146.970- repeater.
• CARC sometimes holds a net on the repeater (146.610-) Wednesday nights at 9pm
• ARES of Tompkins County (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) holds their monthly Emergency Test & Information Net on the third Sunday night of each month at 7:30 local time on the 146.970- repeater. This is a good net for listening to what the local hams are running for emergency gear, and these are the people you will be working with should we be called on to assist in the event of a local disaster.

VE Testing - Find out how to get your license

VE tests are offered at most hamfests. Whenever you go to a VE test, you need to bring the following:

• Your Social Security Number AND / OR FCC ID number (usually issued with your first license)
• Two photo IDs -- driver's license, passport and Cornell student ID are all acceptable
• Test fee in cash. As of Jan 2005, the standard test fee is $14 US per session
• If upgrading, your original and a photocopy of your current SIGNED FCC amateur radio license and any other necessary documents, such as any CSCE's (Certificate of Successful Completion of Exam)
• A non-programmable calculator, or at least bring the manual so the VEs can see you haven't stored any formulas in memory!
• A full brain from studying for your desired exam
• One pen and two sharp #2 pencils with erasers

During the Winter, sessions are normally held every other month in 230 Rockefeller Hall on the Cornell campus. For more information, contact Doug NE2T at 257-6066 or via email.

VE testing sessions are held in Endicott NY every second Saturday at the Endicott Fire Station. Start time is usually 1 or 2 PM depending on the examiner's schedule. Check the ARRL VE Test Calendar for monthly info. It's a good idea to check before you drive to Endicott!

The TCARC VE Testing web page is here. You might find other local VE test info there.
