Get your amateur radio license

I Can Help You
Although Amateur Radio operators get involved for many reasons, they all have in common a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles, and pass an examination for the FCC license to operate on portions of the radio frequency spectrum known as the "Amateur Bands". These bands are radio frequencies allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by ham radio operators.
What is Amateur Radio?
Amateur Radio (sometimes referred to as ‘ham radio‘) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
Why Amateur Radio?
World-Wide Communications
No matter where you are, long-range communications are often possible.
It works when everything else fails
Cell phone and landline telephone service may be interrupted, but amateur radio works when you have power (can be batteries) and a radio.
Great Social Network
Amateur radio is a great way to make friends all over your city, state, country and around the world.
Why Get Licensed?
Do I Have To?
In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates amateur radio activities. Their regulations establish requirements and limitations for amateur radio operators.
Stepping out of bounds, such as by transmitting without a proper license or not following the FCC Part 97 regulations, can have hefty consequences. Fines for such transgressions can reach eye-watering amounts, with some individuals recently facing penalties and fines as severe as $17,000 USD.
For these reasons, operators must learn about radio signal transmission methods and modes, power levels, power supplies, and other operational aspects, and also stay informed and compliant with the governing regulations to avoid any unpleasant and expensive encounters with the FCC
For this reason, you must learn certain minimum information and pass an FCC examination to get your license and operate legally.
