MARS will hold its next WCARS ham radio licensing exam session on Saturday, September 9, 2017, at 9:00am at the St. Giles Church gymnasium.

All VE test sessions are open to all individuals, and are held at St. Giles Evangelical Presbyterian Church at 2027 Emerywood Avenue in Charlotte. Test sessions start at 9:00am, so please arrive by 8:30am to register. All test elements are given at each session. Walk ins are welcome, but we would appreciate it if you register by sending an email to Our VE Team or call 704-948-7373 if you need additional information.

Any special testing needs, ie verbal exams, translators, etc. must be pre-requested at least two full weeks before the testing date. (NOTE: While we will try to accommodate the needs of any applicant, the Mecklenburg VE Team, as an all-volunteer staffed VE Team, cannot guarantee that special need requests can be honored at all testing sessions.)

Please bring the following to the test session:

– VEC Test Fee ($10.00)
– Picture ID (Drivers License is fine)
– Your original Amateur License, and a copy
– Any CSCE’s and copies
