They enjoy communicating with one another via two-way radios and experimenting with antennas and electronic circuits.  \nAll kinds of people are amateur radio operators, also known as “hams.” Hams are young, old, men, women, boys and girls. Kids as young as seven years old have gotten amateur radio licenses, and many hams are active into their eighties and beyond. You never know who you'll run into on the amateur radio bands: young and old, teachers and students, engineers and scientists, doctors and nurses, mechanics and technicians, kings and entertainers.  \nFor example, did you know that most of the astronauts sent up to the International Space Station (ISS) in the last five to ten years have been licensed radio amateurs? They use the amateur radio station onboard the ISS to communicate with school groups all over the world as they are flying over.  \nHow do you get into amateur radio?  \nWith just a little study, you can learn all you need to know to get a Technician Class license, which is the license class designed for beginners. To get a Technician Class license, you must take a test with 35 multiple-choice questions and answer 26 questions correctly. The test covers basic regulations, operating practices, and electrical and electronics theory.  \nKnowing Morse Code is no longer required to get this license, nor any class of license. Technician Class licensees have all amateur radio privileges above 30 MHz, including the very popular 2-meter band. Technicians can also operate Morse Code (CW) on portions ofthe 80m, 40m, 15m, and 10m bands, and voice and digital modes on portions ofthe 10m band.  \nThere are two other license classes: the General Class license and the Amateur Extra Class license. To get a General Class license, you must pass another 35-question test; the Amateur Extra Class test has 50 questions. The tests are progressively more difficult.  \nGeneral Class licensees get phone and digital mode privileges on portions ofthe 160m, 80m, 60m, 40m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m bands. They can also operate CW and digital modes on the 30m band. Amateur Extra licensees have all amateur privileges.  \nHow much does it cost?  \nBasic study materials, such as this study guide, can be had for free, and the license exam fee will be $15 or less. Once you have your first license, most hams find it best to start with simple equipment and grow over time. A handheld VHF FM transceiver can be purchased for less than $100 new, and excellent used equipment is often available at low prices. All things considered, the cost to get the first license and radio should be less than $200.  \nWhere do I take the test?  \nAmateur radio license examinations are given by Volunteer Examiners, or VEs. VEs are licensed radio amateurs who have been trained to administer amateur radio tests. To find out when the VEs in your area will be giving the test, go to the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL) website: [http://www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-session.
