Go on AARL. They have reviews and practice exams where they use the pool of actual test questions. Keep taking the test till you get scores of 80 % consistently. Then take the real thing to get you technicians license. I say Ham radio is a must for a prepper.
Just renewed mine for the umpthteenth time, first one in 1957.
I'm thinkin you don't need or want a license, right?Originally Posted by haydukeprepper
The test is fairly easy...I got 1 wrong...my issue is figuring out what freq to listen too! Not doing well on that front
I do have a somewhat local chapter I need to visit to get me some learnin'...
No reason, that I can see, not to take the test...

If you are interested in HAM and want to learn more, I recommend the following YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/davecasler/featured
This guy is pretty informative and his videos will help make things easy to learn. It helped me. I have to read and see something before I can learn it, and I could learn at my own pace with the videos.
If your plans are only to ever listen, you don't *need* to do anything else. However, taking a class or reading up on the Tech license would give you helpful information on how to use your radio, how to find helpful frequencies, and maybe reach out to a local club.
Having the ability to use something, but lacking the skill to do so, is pointless.
