Morse code finally ended completely in 2007. I got my first license in 1977, it expired as I didn't do anything with it once I joined the Navy. Last year, I revisited it, got the Technician and General licenses same day last fall, then followed up with the Extra exam early this year. I don't use it like traditional amateur radio operators, it is simply for emergencies, such as when out four wheeling, where there is no cell phone signal, which is a lot of Nevada.

Anyway...

FCC Info: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/amateur-radio-service

These two sites give all of the test prep you need, and are free: https://hamexam.org/ and https://arrlexamreview.appspot.com/index.html

The exam is now fully published, a formality, so you need to study the questions and answers, learn them. Long overdue as today's radios are completely different, black box, something breaks and you replace it, as opposed to the first radio that used tubes.

Thanks for the info. I got the novice license back in 1974 IIRC, but that’s long expired. Like you I want to get back into it for emergency comes. (Also a NAVET)

I’m working on this now.

KN4OLR......... I left my radios at home, went to college and never advanced beyond novice

Today, almost everybody has a transceiver at hand that is literally connected to the whole world.
