The Worth Public Library is where STARS administers exams. We plan to hold sessions on the 4th Saturday of each month. Testing is held at 10:00 AM, and walk-ins are accepted until 11:30 AM.

If you would like to take an exam, please get in touch with us using the Exam Request form. This helps us plan more effectively and lets us contact you if anything changes.

Test candidates are REQUIRED to register in the FCC CORES system and receive an FCC Registration Number (FRN) prior to exam day.

To apply for an FRN,

The STARS 2M repeater offers Echolink! We are excited to support this mode. There is no excuse not to check in to the nets while traveling. The callsign is W9SRC-R and will appear in Echolink’s repeater section. For reference, the Node ID is 763923. Please try it out and let us know what you think.

We have replaced our aging UHF repeater with a brand new Yaesu DR-1. The new machine is on the same frequencies as our old repeater (442.675 with a standard 5 MHz positive offset and a PL tone of 131.8). Thanks to the Hamfesters Radio Club (W9AA) for their assistance with our latest purchase.
