Need Assistance Getting HAM Certified?
Getting your amateur radio license is one of the best ways to understand your equipment, operate legally, and get more value out of your Manpack.
If you are new to radio, do not let the licensing process intimidate you. The amateur radio community is full of people who are willing to help new operators study, test, and get on the air the right way.
The resources below can help you study for your exam, find testing options, understand the material, and manage your FCC license information.
