Unless scheduled otherwise, test sessions begin at 6PM – just prior to the 7PM monthly meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Test sessions are held at the Cumberland County Public Safety Center, 1 Public Safety Drive, Carlisle, PA 17013.
All amateur radio license elements (Technician, General and Amateur Extra) will be offered. Commercial license testing is not available.
Pre-registration is required – via email: k3zr55@outlook.com. Test sessions will only be held if there is enough interest and there are enough volunteer examiners to staff the session. Walk-ins will be accommodated on a best effort basis.
Calculators are allowed – but memory must be cleared prior to the exam.
Applicants must have a FCC Registration Number (FRN) before testing can be done. An FRN
may be obtained by visiting the FCC Universal Licensing System.
SMRA VE test team is associated with W5YI VEC . If you are a member of SMRA and want to assist with testing, please reach out to K3ZR for more information.
What to bring?
- If already licensed, a photocopy of amateur radio license to submit with application. A reference copy printed from the FCC web site is sufficient.

All test attendees, regardless of pass/fail, are welcome to attend our clubs monthly meeting at 7pm, immediately after the test session ends. If you pass, you will be voted into the club during that meeting.
