In order to get my Technician ticket, I attended eight, 3 hour classes for the basics, however I tested and passed after only 3 classes. There are practice tests online @ www.QRZ.com for free. When you can pass the practice tests 9 of 10 trys, you can easily obtain your ticket. From that point the world is wide open within the spectrum of your license. Try it and have fun. smile


Thanks, that was interesting. I used to be into electronics a little bit in high school but haven't done any projects in a long time. I've never touched a single book on Ham radio. But I went to take a look at the technician's test you linked to just for the heck of it and scored 75%. I was under the impression that getting the license was tougher. But looks like it's a lot more accessible than I thought. Now I'm seriously thinking about getting the Technician ticket.
