Seven-Week Technician Class Session
SCARS will offer a seven-week FCC amateur radio technician class starting February 5, 2026. This class will be held at the National Weather Center on Thursday evenings from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. The class will not be held on March 19th because that is Spring Break Week. The eighth class on April 2nd will be the FCC testing session, where you can obtain your license. The only cost for this class will be the $5 question-and-answer book. The FCC will charge you a $35 license fee, valid for the next 10 years.
One-Day Technician Study Session
SCARS will offer a one-day Technician Study Session at the Norman Firehouse #7 – 2207 Goddard, Norman, Oklahoma 73069 on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This session will start at 9:00 am, and no-cost FCC exams will begin at 3:30 pm. You will work at your own pace on a guided self-study of the amateur radio technician test questions. You will need a study guide that contains all technician questions and the correct answers. If you already have one of these, you are welcome to use it. The club has copies of this guide for $5. When you register, you will receive information on how to obtain a study guide. Sign up for the class at https://w5nor.org/classsignup/.

Obtain an FCC FRN Number
FCC CORES: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do This is where you need to create an “FRN” (FCC Registration Number). Please note that if you already have an FCC license (i.e., one in the General Mobile Radio Service), you probably already have an FRN.
