Hot Springs Village Amateur Radio Club

License Testing Information

Currently, the club’s Liaison VE (Volunteer Examiner) who administers the FCC license test is Dominic Listermann KV4UB. We have several VEs available to assist our Liaison VE in the testing sessions.

We assist persons wishing to take the test by providing information on accessing Question Pools and other study information. We also provide information for contact to other local Liaison VEs who administer the tests. Generally local test sessions are each month.

We are presently recommending persons wishing to take the test or presently licensed individuals wishing to upgrade to contact The Bryant Ham club:
