Today I took (and passed<\/em>) my FCC Amateur Radio Morse Code
\ntest!  I decided about 5 days ago that I should start studying for
\nit.  I was lucky that the DurHamFest was holding a VE testing
\nsession, so I decided to try.  Read on for details about the test.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I arrived at the DurHamFest at about 10:30am.  The VE test
\nadministrator told me that the code test would be given at 11:00am, so
\nI walked around until then.<\/p>\n

I returned to the testing room, got my paperwork filled out and went to
\nthe back of the room to take the test.  Since I was unable to find
\ndetailed information about the test from people who had taken it, I
\nthought I’d detail my experience here.<\/p>\n

I was given a "code copy sheet" by the administrators.  On it, I
\nput all of my contact information.  Then, the administrator played
\na short (1 minute) code sequence to allow the listeners to get a feel
\nfor the volume and speed of the code.  This was something like
\n"This is a test copy run."  After the test, the administrator
\nplayed the real exam, which was similar to the tests at the AA9PW<\/a>
\nwebsite.  After the test was finished, we were given the question
\nsheet and a chance to clean up our copy of the QSO.  I fixed a few
\nplaces where I had corrected a character or two, and answered the
\nquestions.<\/p>\n

After turning my sheets in, I was told that I passed both the question
\nway and the code-copy way.  The examiners look for 25 characters
\nof perfect copy in a row, which counts as a successful code-copy.<\/p>\n

Now, I just need to get the General class book and start studying for
\nthe written exam.  It should be easy; I just barely failed it when
\nI took it (for the fun of it) when I went to take my Technician exam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
