GETTING A LICENSE


Amateur Radio at one time required learning Morse Code and a lot of electronic theory to be able to pass the test. Today - Code is no longer required. Studying for your license is much easier. The license manual gives you all the information you need in one convenient package.

Manuals are available online from www.ARRL.org or a good free version at KB6NU.com, and many other locations as well. Online practice tests can be found at many websites including www.hamstudy.org, making getting your ticket easier than ever!

Kelly, KB2RN, has created an excellent NEW HAM GUIDE you should check out.

There is no age limitation to pass the examination.
Please contact us with questions or for information.
