So, you want to become a Ham Radio Operator. This page will be a work in progress.

I will add content as I discover new sources to assist you in your quest to obtain your

Amateur Operator License.

In order to qualify for an amateur radio license, you must pass certain tests to determine  

most people. There are three license levels (known as classes) where each class grants  

greater privleges to the individual. There is a single written test for each license class. 

The license classes are:

• Technician Class - this is the entry level license. It gives privileges on all amateur 

                                  frequencies above 50 Mhz and is the most popular. It requires only a written test.

   

• General Class - this is the mid-level license. It enables privileges on most amateur 

                                  frequencies below 50 Mhz and includes global HF (shortwave) communications. It has its own written test.

   

• Extra Class - this is the highest level license. It grants privileges on all amateur frequencies. 

                                  It has its own written test and requires that you also have passed all of the Technician and General class written tests.
