Re: HAM Radios and Licenses

You can find a HAM licensing course in your area by entering
your zip code using the arrl link at:
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/courses/
Most of these courses are free, offered by the members of your
local radio club and only take about a month of weekly sessions.
Taking one of these courses is the most convenient way to learn
the material for your first license and will hook you up for a testing
opportunity at the end of the course.

Lots of study material can be found offered at:
http://www.arrl.org/catalog/lm/

I would suggest that you attend a course offered by your local HAM
radio club and then use one of the computer based practice test programs
to practice for the test that will be given at the end of the course. By
taking the practice test until you consistently get the questions right you
will be sure to pass your license exam the first time.

I had not heard that the FCC had dropped the morse code
requirement, but they indeed have. Perhaps it is time to
knock off the general test and get that HF radio.

Have fun,
