Getting my HAM license is something that I want to do. As soon as school is out for the summer I want to get started. I have 2 handhelds but am truly the newbiest newbie. My local group doesn't hold a class to prepare for the test. My first question is do I need the in person class or is the online class sufficient?
Online class can get you your first license, but getting with a local club will help with getting you on the air. You should search for affiliate clubs who hold classes and then attend one. It is a great hobby.
