SANDARC's Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) offers free in-person and online testing for all FCC Amateur Radio licenses. The testing will be conducted in the East Valley Community Center in Escondido on the 4th Satuday of the month.

SANDARC does not charge for first time license exam, re-test nor license upgrade. A future nominal re-testing fee may be implemented shortly.

Test for your Technician, General or Extra Class License. Multiple elements allowed. Please make sure that you have studied and you are passing practice exams with 80% or higher.

Our Volunteer Examiners are mostly Escondido and Valley Center hams who dedicate their time and expertise to ensure that the testing process fully complies with FCC regulations and procedures.

If you have ever held an Amateur Radio License issued by the FCC or are testing for an upgrade to General or Extra, please use your existing FRN# to register. Bring along an Original or Reference copy of your expired or current Amateur Radio License as evidence so we can issue appropriate credit.

For more information, contact Jo Ashley at joashley@att.net or Marty AF5T at AF5T@arrl.net . Email contact is preferred. You MUST register for any exam at this location. NO walk-ins permitted, until further notice. Seating is limited.
