The license for beginners is the Technician Class license, which no longer requires a Morse Code examination, and gives you all ham radio privileges above 30 Megahertz (MHz).
These privileges include the very popular 2-meter band. Many Technician licensees enjoy using small 2-meter
hand-held radios to stay in touch with other hams in their area.
Technicians may operate FM voice, digital packet (computers), television, single-sideband voice and several other interesting modes. They can even make international radio contacts via satellites, using relatively simple equipment.
To earn a Technician Class License, you'll need to pass the Technician written exam. These are multiple-choice tests, written with beginners in mind. You'll study topics such as radio operating practices, FCC rules and basic electrical theory. Knowledge of Morse code is not required.
