USA Conducts First All-Online Ham Radio Exam

The first remote all-online amateur radio Technician license exam was carried out in the United States on 26th March 2020.

Yesterday, our working group ran an "all-virtual" amateur radio technician license exam for the first time in history! Thanks to @W5YI for being supportive of this effort. Stay tuned, we hope to have a scalable solution available for broader use soon! @N0SSC @arrl @arrlscv https://t.co/Ipo0YHa3oq

Joseph Talbot sat the exam and his FCC Technician license callsign KJ7NNU was granted on 27 March 2020.

Since 2010 there have been other exams sessions carried out remotely but they have had an in-person proctor present at the exam session. This was the first remote online Technician exam session carried out with everybody online.
