Comment on “Is anyone out There?” - HamRadio
Blondie@lemmy.zip 1 week agoI did see the class/test was all online… easypeasy! I really don’t want to be fined… so loose the chance to not have a license. I’m def going to do it. I hear if you use a hand held it’s easier not to get “caught” as you are mobile. But it’s not expensive. Doing it.

I assume you’re in the US, so you can use hamstudy.org. From there you can schedule your exam online and take it online. I did my Tech from a beachside resort in Philippines during the pandemic, and my General and Extra from an AirBnB in New Mexico. Two of my examiners were Australian, and each of them in different parts of the US as well.
With daily study, you should be able to knock out each license level in about a month each.

I am in the US, and yes, online course work, and in my state, it’s 15$ to take the test at a testing site near my home for the technical license. Thanks for the recommendation on the online course, there are many to choose from, and some of the websites are … messy.

Certainly! It’s a bit of an unspoken duty to encourages others to get licensed. It’s one of the accomplishments I most adore.
You can do it in person, but hamstudy should also provide remote options as well. I did mine from a beach on a Pacific Island!

Yes. Thanks for the recommendation and the link to follow more ham friends and get ham information.
