[QUOTE="Todd2, post: 775751, member: 1929"] Several years ago I learned that I'd have to get a Ham (technician) license in order to continue motorcycle marshaling for the MS-150. I got online one morning, found the questions, spent hours reading, took the test that evening, and PASSED! I'll admit I "reasoned through" some of the multiple choice answers and just guessed at the antennae wavelength calculation questions (never found an equation to use - still don't know how do them) - but it wasn't THAT hard. For those that would like to take a prep class taught by a live person, some community colleges also offer them through their Adult Learning Centers, in the evenings. Private individuals (local Ham operators) also put on training classes at reasonable prices (Google it). It's not like in the past when Morse code was required; today, if you need/want one, there's no reason not to get one. (It's the cost of the radios that can set you back. - LOL) I might add that the Tech Ham operators license test has nothing to do with teaching you how to actually USE a Ham radio - so more learning will still be necessary. Good Luck. Todd [/QUOTE]
