New to HAM radio? Just received your license. The ARRL has published a quick start guide to help you set up your first HAM shack. It can be found here.
We offer Amateur Radio license examinations at 6:00 pm on the third Tuesday of each month, except for December. The exam location is the American Red Cross Building, 1299 Pineview Drive, Morgantown, WV. The entrance to use is the one between the two attached buildings. From this entrance the Red Cross is one floor up (3rd Floor).
We prefer preregistration, but allow walk-in applicants for the Technician exam, based on the available room to conduct the exam. General and Extra Class examinees should preregister, and should arrive at or before 6:00 PM. The General exam often takes ½ hour, and the Extra can take and hour.
Since the MWA club meeting begins at 7:00 PM, we would like to be
finished by that time.
