For Expert Village, I'm Kurt N7QJM. Now don't be too nervous if you are taking the exam.
It's like any other test; you can take it again if you have to. So, where would you
take these exams? If you don't succeed, well, hey, try again like I said. Well, back to
our other question, "Where would you take these?" Well, there are Volunteer Examiners
throughout the country, and they are basically volunteering to help you become a ham radio
operator. So, what you will need to do is arrange a time, or, I suppose first find where
they are then secondly arrange a time to go and take the test, and thirdly, go ahead and
show up for the examination and take the examination. Now, once you have established yourself and
you pass the examination, then what you do is you go to the Volunteer Examiner, they'll
have you sign some paperwork and they'll send that off to the FCC. And it usually takes
between four and maybe twelve weeks for you to actually get your ticket--or your ham radio
license, that's the point. Congratulations, though, on taking it--and congratulations
on passing. I took it the first time, passed it the first time. I did a good job of studying
and if you watch the previous sessions you would be able to do that. One final note,
that if you wanted to have some sort of--and you've probably seen these on cars--those
are called "vanity plates" and they have their call letters usually on there, you can actually
make that a reality as well. Just contact your local DOL, The Department of Licensing,
and they'll do it from there. Short session this time, we'll see you the next time where
we're actually starting to set up the ham rig. Until then N7QJM, 73s.
