I need to do something similar. My radio will be here Friday.

I actually bought two study guides, this one is nice because it has all the questions and answers and the correct answer is noted at the end of each little portion with an explanation of why its the right answer. The other guide has a list of the questions and answers up front (no correct answer) and then in the back it has a section with just question and correct answer. Good for cramming I suppose.

I found a few places online where some of the HAM types really get their rocks off policing the air waves. For the little bit of money and time it costs I have no issues getting my license. Cheaper to get licensed than get fined because of some douchebag.

But how can they catch you unless they walk up to you?

It would be hard since we will be moving but still possible. I have talked about getting it for a while so a little extra motivation never hurts.

I talked with a friend tonight who is big into all the HAM stuff. I explained the scenario and intent to him. He said as long as we are setup to use a frequency that does not have a local repeater so we only broadcast hand radio-to-hand radio then we should be under the radar.

His wanting was that there is an entire volunteer Dept of the FCC that does nothing but monitor the airwaves for improper radio usage, illegal usage, and works to locate the parties involved for legal action. This is how those guys get their rocks off. If the actions are bad enough the FCC can confiscate all radios and any permanently mounted equipment with it.

All that said; I am going to invest a little time and money to get my general license for future use. I may or may not start using the hand radio more but at least it is an option.

So; back to planning...

Very valid point and I've been using mine without one for a long long time. But I just decided it was time.
