PA QSO Party

Yes yes, a test session at the PA QSO Party presented by members of the Susquehanna Amateur Radio Club! Come hang out and get licensed or upgraded! We are at the Montrose Fairgrounds.

Fees

Exam fees are waived for those 18 years old or younger, students with a current ID, active military, veterans or GLAARG VEs upgrading to Extra. All others are $10 payable via PayPal (select K3CL session manager and session ID 7712) or cash.

For new licences, the FCC will send you a bill for their $35 once the session is processed on their end. Please do the thing within ten days else your application gets dismissed. We can refile after that, but due to logistical challenges, would rather avoid such scenarios.

Registration

All applications require a individual FRN; you can get one during registration if you do not have one. The FCC requires that all information is kept current (especially if they need to contact you). Students with school emails, you may want to use a different email in case your school email gets deactivated after some time. There is no restriction on the type of mailing address, as long as it is located in the US and you can receive mail there.

If you are under 13 years old, you may not register for any exam session until your parent or guardian has filled out the ExamTools COPPA Parental Consent Form and emailed to coppa[at]examtools[dot]org, with a CC to the session manager charlie[at]vishwin[dot]info.

Session participation

All classes of exams are offered in the following order: Technician, General, Amateur Extra. Please make sure you study for the correct element(s)/level(s), as it is not permitted to take them out of sequence. This session is for the exam only and not for any prep course.

You may use your personal computing device (laptop, tablet, phone, etc) or provided paper packet to take the exams. More than one exam per session is allowed. To increase chances of success, please ensure that you have viewed every single question in the pool(s) you are studying for at least once. All are allowed one retest per element per day on examiner discretion, charged at the same rate as the initial registration.

You are allowed to use a calculator and one scratch paper. The calculator is to have all memories cleared and scratch paper blank.
