    Here is some more information about the radio class:
        The Technician Class is the first class you should take and it will be in the room downstairs on the main floor.
        The entrance is on the south west corner of the building, on 24th Avenue.
        There is also a General Licensing Class in a different room.

1    LOCATION:    The Technician class will be in south room and the General Class, which is for people who have a license, is in the north room.

5    FRN:    Be sure to go to the FCC ULS web site and get your FRN (Federal Registration Number),
The Federal law requires the FCC to have your Social Security Number (SSN) to start your license data file.
You can do this at their web site and then you will not have to put your SSN on the official NCVEC 605 License Application Form., at the test. We would rather not see your SSN, either
The licensing process will go quicker if you get you FRN before the test.  Go to the FCC ULS site: http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=home
If you have a Novice license or an expired license, then you need to bring a copy of your license to the test session on the second day.

    a)    You will need a FRN or your Social Security Number.  We would rather not see your SSN, so please get your FRN from the FCC before the second day.

    c)    $15 will be collected at the beginning of the test.  Cash or a check is preferred
