Red River Radio Amateurs

First, is a change in the date for a training session for Emergency Services Volunteers.  At the last club meeting I had announced that we would have a training session in preparation for a spring flood event after the February club meeting.  That session  will be held after the March meeting because my fellow ECs will be out of town on February 16 and I may not be driving yet after my back surgery.  So could you put a note on the site that the ES Volunteer training will be postponed till after the March club meeting.

You will need to bring with you the following
Cost $15.00 for each test.  If you pass the first test, and you wish to
take the next level test, it is free, only if you pass the first test.
If you fail the test and wish to retest you must pay the $15.00 again.

Picture ID, and or 2 other Forms of  ID
MUST HAVE  Your FRN if you have it.  (on your license ) for existing hams
MUST HAVE Copy of your license A MUST
MUST HAVE Original  License A MUST
MUST HAVE  If you are pending an up grade, you have taken a test but you

If this is your first time testing.
Your Social Security number. If you are taking the test for the first time.
If you are a minor and you do not have any form of ID, you must have a

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NEEDED.

Calculators  ( keep it simple)
You should bring a calculator.  If it is programmable, you must prove to
the VE team that all memories are clear.  IF you can not prove it,
You can not use it. You can not use cell phones or computers as

Hi all.
We are ready to start the mentor class, the mentor class will emphasize
the general class ham test.  This class will be open to ALL hams MEMBERS
AND NON MEMBERS ALIKE, that would like to up grade to general, and some
of you that are general that would like a good refresher. After you all
get your General ,we will start teaching the Extra class.  Again if you
are an extra and would like a refresher you are welcome also.  You can
pick the book of your choice. We will be using the ARRL General book to
start with. Testing sessions will be set up with the VEs, for time and
location of testing.
Again you do not need to be a member of the RRRA to come to the class
