The SARA Radio Club is moving to ham testing only, as the last couple of years with the Pandemic has made it harder to have groups of people all day in the same room. For the foreseeable future we will be doing testing only. In the information below we will have information about self study and other local Ham Club testing and Ham Cram options.
SARA Club testing When and Where?
- SARA Club will offer Test Only before our Club meeting on the Third Tuesday of each month, starting at 6 PM. (NOTE: please send email to askelmer@stanares.org to confirm availability)
- The location is 3705 Oakdale Rd., Modesto CA (Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services)

An instructional video provides step-by-step instructions on how to establish a CORES account, which is necessary for licensees to make administrative updates and download electronic license authorizations.
