Get Radio Active!

The Oak Hill Amateur Radio Club is now offering in person testing in Central Austin thru W5YI. We file all your paperwork electronically allowing you to get licensed quicker than any other testing site in Travis county. Follow the 3 easy steps below to make sure you have a spot reserved in our next testing session.


Step 1 – Register Online

Walk-ins are not accepted for testing so make sure you register online.


Step 2 – Pay Online

Due to Library policies we are NOT able to accept payment the day of testing in the library. Making a payment online is the only guarantee you will have a spot reserved in our testing session.

Refunds will not be given to applicants who do not appear for their exam.


Step 3 – Show Up

Arrive at the Howson Branch of the Austin Public Library 15 minutes prior to testing with all your required documents.


Walk-ins are not accepted for testing so make sure you register online.
