- phone bills generated by having to phone ARRL, VEC etc for permission
- before phoning the FCC, would it be worthwhile for US amateurs, VECs and

-
- AFTER THE EXAM - HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE MY LICENSE ARRIVES?
-
- If you've recently passed your initial examination for an
- Amateur Radio license, or if you've just upgraded, please
- accept our warmest congratulations! Now that you've
- passed the test, receiving your license in the mail is the
- next step.
- The FCCs current license processing time is at
- 90 days. In addition, there will be extra time required
- within the volunteer examiner system of two weeks
- or so allowing your VE Team and VEC (if for Technician class
- or higher) time to process your application, your license
- might not arrive for up to 12 to 14 weeks.
- To keep your wait for that new license or upgrade as
- short as possible, we are taking the following steps to give
- you the fastest possible service.
- We have begun providing our VE Teams with express OVERNIGHT
- mailers for the return of applications from ARRL/VEC exam
- sessions to us at the VEC--and we at the VEC have begun
- sending our daily packages to the FCCs Licensing Facility
- via an express OVERNIGHT service.
- We are also encouraging our VEs, and imposing
- the same emphasis upon ourselves, to process examination
- packages as quickly as possible to expedite your license.
- Having implemented the above procedures, the ARRL/VEC
- wants your wait for your new license to be as short as
- possible.
- If you have any other suggestions about the program, or
- services we provide, please feel free to contact us.
- You can help keep the processing time as short as possible
- by ALWAYS bringing all ORIGINAL CSCEs (plus copies of them) and
- your ORIGINAL FCC license (and a copy), plus your identification
- documents (photo-ID emphasized), to every test session you attend.
-
-
- THINGS TO BRING TO THE EXAMINATION
-
- Be prepared to bring the following items with you to VEC
- examinations: Your original current FCC-issued Amateur
- Radio license (and a copy of it)--if you are licensed; Any
- original Written or Code Element credit documents (CSCEs)
- which are currently valid; Two forms of identification
- (e.g., a photo-ID or drivers license and another item
- indicating your current name and address); A calculator (if
- necessary); A pen and two pencils; and, the applicable
- examination test fee ($5.75 for 1994 test sessions).
-
-
- TECHNICIAN CLASS GRANDFATHER CREDIT
-
- If you hold a Technician class license which was issued
- prior to 3/21/87, you are not required to take the Element
- 3B (General class written) examination if you can provide a
- copy of your FCC-license dated before that date. If your
- licensed has since been renewed, and if you don't have a
- copy of the pre-3/21/87 license, you must seek a
- verification letter from the FCC.
-
- To do so, write to FCC, 1270 Fairfield Rd, Gettysburg PA
- 17325-7245 and request a letter of "Verification of Technician
- License Held Prior to 3/21/87"--verifying that you were licensed
- as a Technician class licensee before that date (the date the
- Technician Question Pool was split off from the General class
- Question Pool -- March 21, 1987). After you receive that letter
- from the FCC, bring it to the test session with you in order
- to claim your deserved credit.
-
-
- LOST LICENSES
-
- If you have lost your license, be aware that VECs are not
- permitted to submit any upgrades to the FCC without a copy of your
- current license attached to the 610 form. In order to
- expedite your upgrade, you must write the FCC and request a
- replacement license. Since that can take several weeks to
- arrive, we recommend that you also request a Form 1010-B
- verification letter from the FCC which will arrive in a
- couple of weeks--and is legally binding license document.
- You may use that form as a license until your Form-660
- license arrives. The original and a copy of Form 1010-B
- must be brought to the test session verifying that you are
- currently licensed--the copy of which will be attached to
- your upgrade application (in lieu of an actual Form-660
- license copy). To request the Form 1010-B Verification
- Letter, write to: FCC, 1270 Fairfield Rd, Gettysburg PA
- 17325-7245; indicating that you lost your license and that
- you are requesting that a replacement license be issued to
- you--also be sure to request that they send you a Form 1010-
- B Verification Letter verifying that you are licensed.
-
-
- ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE HANDICAPPED OR DISABLED
-
- The FCC requires that the administering VEs must accommodate
- an examinee whose physical disabilities require a special
- examination procedure. To do so, the administering VEs may
- require a physician's statement indicating the nature of the
- disability before determining which, if any, special
- accommodative procedures must be used.
-
- The VEs may accommodate handicapped/disabled examinees by
- administering the examination at a place convenient and
- comfortable for the examinee--even at bedside; for the
- hearing impaired the Morse code may be sent using flashing
- lights or a vibrating surface; for the visually impaired,
- VEs may read or write for the examinee; where warranted, the
- VEs may pause the Morse code message after each
- sentence/phrase, or each word, or even after each character
- to allow the examinee additional time to absorb and
- interpret what was sent--also the VEs may substitute a
- sending test for a receiving test where the examinee's
- handicap warrants.
-
- VE Teams may need advanced notice in order to provide the
- necessary accommodations to examinees who require them. If
- you will require accommodations, please contact the VE Team in
- advance to advise them of your needs.
-
-
- EXEMPTION OF THE 13/20 WPM MORSE CODE REQUIREMENTS
-
- If you are a severely handicapped or disabled individual and
- have already passed at least a 5 WPM Morse code examination
- (or hold a license which meets that requirement), you may be
- eligible for exemption from the 13/20 WPM Morse code
- examination requirements. For information and applicable
- forms, send a SASE to the ARRL/VEC, 225 Main St, Newington
- CT 06111, and request our Handicapped Information Package.
