Quick Start Guide to Getting Your US Ham Radio License 
 
1. Use HamStudy.org: HamStudy is a free website that provides practice tests for all ham radio licenses. It can help individuals prepare for their exams and find online or in-person test sessions. www.hamstudy.org

2. Check Out W4EEY on YouTube: W4EEY on YouTube offers excellent ham radio tutorials. He has playlists covering all ham radio license levels and occasionally conducts live classes. This resource can be valuable for learning ham radio concepts. Here are the playlists for the various licenses:

• Tech Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ_9BZQ8gpziUWPBT3rOvSV6MCCeCaiK0

• General Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ_9BZQ8gpziv2a26B_IoQ1RbXbIqieP2

• Extra Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ_9BZQ8gpzhKG9Ha27YL9szWqBTmlYwU

3. Explore ARRL and Local Clubs: The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) website can help individuals find local ham radio clubs. These clubs often have information about local repeaters, club meetings, and ham radio "nets" (radio meetups). It's a good way to connect with other ham radio enthusiasts in your area.   (https://www.arrl.org/find-a-club)

4.  Phone/Tablet Practice Test App: The hamstudy.org app has recently been updated.  They did a really nice job with it. It’s a couple of fiat dollars, I think you will find it is worth it.  https://hamstudy.org/appstore

 Freebanding--and I have to ask myself is "why bother"?

Getting a HAM license is trivial (especially with the currently available online tools).

If you don't want to take the test, pay a small fee for a GMRS license. 

If neither of those work, then CB of course is still free.

 

 Hamstudy.org helped me pass my technician and general earlier this year. 

 Helped me pass my Technician last week! 

 Congratulations!!!
