I love the mystery in radio, even thumbing through AM stations on a long road-trip is enjoyable, but as a complete non-technical person, I've always been overwhelmed by amateur radio.

Maybe I will muster up some courage and dive into this.




Really anyone can get their license with about two weeks of online studying. Since the requirement for Morse code was dropped, it's not difficult at all.


I had a bit of prior knowledge (radios are a big part of emergency services), but I took the Tech test on a whim (literally walked into a library for an entirely unrelated reason and noticed they were hosting an exam).
