The Old Barney Amateur Radio Club hosts VE sessions on the first Wednesday of the month starting at 6:00 pm at the Ocean Acres Community Center, 489 Nautilus Blvd, Manahawkin, NJ 08050. Candidates are welcomed to attend our monthly business meeting which is held right after the testing session at 7pm.
