Getting licensed to operate a Ham radio is very simple and straightforward. You simply show up to a scheduled test and for a small fee, take the test and get your license.
Classes
There are three classes of licenses:
- Technician class - This is the introductory class and easiest to get.
- General Class - A step up from the Tech class and with more rights.
- Amateur Extra - The "bragging rights" class. Difficult and arcane test required.
Tests
Upcoming test: Aug 20, 2011: Huntsville Hamfest.
