The meetings are open not only to members, but other English-speaking hams and foreigners residing in or visiting Japan interested in amateur radio.

US Amateur Exams in Tokyo

The ARRL VEC Tokyo VE Team (which is not directly affiliated with TIARA, but which contains some members) conducts examinations for US amateur radio licenses at least twice a year in the Tokyo area.

The next session will be held the afternoon of Saturday, December 24th at the Takinogawa Higashi-Kumin Center. Information and pre-registration are available from ARRL VEC Tokyo. Start studying now! A US amateur license can be your gateway to getting a Japanese reciprocal license while you are here.

You can also check the ARRL US amateur exam registry for Japan to find other sessions.
