Getting Your License

You may be asking yourself "what is Amateur Radio all about?" Questions like this can best be answered at your local radio clubs, the library or by utilizing the web to search out your answers.

Once you have a basic understanding of Amateur Radio you must pass a 55 question multiple choice examination. The "no code" Tech license enables you to use popular "FM" two-way radios and repeaters on the VHF and UHF bands. You can also send computer data, television signals or use Amateur Radio orbiting spacecraft with the Tech license.

Below are some sites that allow you to take practice test. Although there are many books, opinions and classes available, most new hams find it easiest to test at these sites until they have a good knowledge of the questions and answers.
