>> I was thinking about getting a ham radio license since hubby has one <<<

Yes.. No-code required ..Your OM should be PROUD you are interested and work together to get your ticket.

I always have a line to poke fun at my wife during movies where people are lost/out of touch..etc “you know what they need?? yea yea a ham radio...

during natural disasters ham radio sometimes is the only way to reach out and talk l/distance.

I'll be honest... I have had mine packed up for the last 8 years, but slowly I’m testing my rigs and preparing..

yes frs are the FM walkie-talkies at wallmart b/buys etc,,
a good thing to have.. even when doing yard work ....

and they will work under international law until an EO ban ..

after that please rent or cue up "Road Warrior" ha!

Hmmm, not even for a General? I thought that only applied to the Technician... But it has been many many years since I checked that...

Actually code was my no-brainer... Morse Intercept Operator in the Army.
