Looking to get your Amateur Radio license or upgrade your ticket? STARS holds Volunteer Examiner (VE) testing sessions on most fourth Saturdays of the month at the Justice Public Library – 7641 Oak Grove Ave, Justice, IL. Please double-check the ARRL website or the STARS events calendar, as dates can shift for holidays or special events.
Testing starts at 10:00 AM. Walk-ins are welcome until 10:30 AM — but please arrive early to avoid disrupting others.
Testing fee: $15 cash only (no checks or cards).
Bring: A valid photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, student ID, etc.).
Required: FCC Registration Number (FRN). You can register for one here: FCC FRN Registration
Upgrading? Bring your original license and any valid CSCEs, along with one copy of each, for our records.
We’ll provide scratch paper. Calculators are allowed, as long as they’re free of stored formulas.
Have questions or ready to test? Contact our CVE, Dennis, at KC9DSP@gmail.com
Get a good night’s sleep, eat a solid breakfast, and come ready — you’ve got this!
