Socially distanced in-person Ham Radio exam sessions

The ARRL reports in-person amateur radio exam sessions have been held in
the USA and Norway

With some states starting to relax restrictions on events and activities,
the Grant County, Oregon, Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES®) held an
in-person exam session on April 26 in the town of John Day that adhered to
social distancing recommendations.

Exam organizers held the gathering to within Oregon’s 10-person limit for
gatherings, keeping everyone 6 feet apart and requiring all participants to
wear face masks. The exam session was held outdoors under a car port.

“We had an exceptionally successful test session, with candidates passing
exams at every amateur radio level,†said Ed Ellesson, AF7YX, the ARRL
Volunteer Examiner Liaison for the Grant County Amateur Radio Club.
Grant County Emergency Coordinator Steve Fletcher, K7AA, noted that many
clubs had canceled their planned sessions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Grant County decided to approach the problem by obeying all the
restrictions but still holding the exam,†he said. “As a result, we had
people come here from all over the state.â€

In Oklahoma, the Mid-Del Amateur Radio Club, W5MWC, administered an
open-air exam session on April 25 that held to social distancing
guidelines. Over the course of the 3-hour session, 16 candidates tested and
all were successful. One candidate passed all three exam elements to come
away with his Amateur Extra-class license.
