What a loser.
Poor grammar and poor understanding of why we dont belt out kilowatts and jam out everyone for miles.
It takes skill to send a signal across the world on low power and an idiot to belt out twaddle on a kilowatt.
Pffff CBers.

Thats why hams require a licence so muppets like you are kept off the bands.
Ham radio is too technical for someone who cannot even master english or spelling.

Its actually quite easy. There are 3 classes of HAM: 1.) Technician, 2.) General and 3.) Extra. Each class gives more privileges. If you are starting out, you will need to take the Technician class exam first.

If you are good at studying on your own you can get the ARRL Study guide, this is what I got. I like it because it has all the possible questions given on the exam. If you want, you can just study the possible questions but its really more fun to learn the material.
