Welcome!

Welcome to the Last Frontier Volunteer Examiner Club!  We are also known as the Last Frontier VEC.  To ensure full and complete transparency, we are NOT a certified Volunteer Examiner Coordinator.  Our purpose is very simple.  This organization was created to provide amateur radio licensing services to the people of Alaska.  Our focus is Alaska first, Alaska always.  We will not see it any other way.  We offer exam sessions that fall into one of four categories.  They are as follows:

  • Canadian Remote Testing:  We are offering remote examinations for Canadian licenses as of May 12th, 2023.  Take a look at our Canadian Remote Testing page to learn more!
  • Fully Remote Testing:  This is where you have 1 applicant with two video feeds in the same room and at least 3 accredited Volunteer Examiners monitoring remotely by video.  This service is available to anyone who qualifies and meets our requirements.
  • Hybrid In-Person Testing:  This is where you have all applicants and a minimum of 1 accredited Volunteer Examiner in the same room, with at least 2 additional Volunteer Examiners in attendance monitoring remotely by video.  You MUST be physically present in Alaska to receive this service.
  • In-Person Testing:  This is where you have all applicants and at least 3 accredited Volunteer Examiners in the same room.  You MUST be physically present in Alaska to receive this service.
  • Proctored Remote Testing:  This is where you have 1 applicant in the same room as 1 vetted individual, with 3 accredited Volunteer Examiners monitoring remotely by video.  You MUST be physically present in Alaska to receive this service.



We are affiliated with the ARRL VEC for all license testing purposes.

We will administer examinations using any means of delivery possible.  Through a working agreement with the ARRL VEC, we are permitted to use them as our corresponding Volunteer Examiner Coordinator in all aspects of license testing.  Those who are interested in supporting us via club membership are greatly appreciated!  Also, if you're interested in serving as a Volunteer Examiner, please reach out!
