you can’t just get a license by clicking somewhere on the ARRL website. The entry level license requires passing an actual FCC examination which evaluates knowledge of FCC rules and regulations as well as basic electronics and radio theory. The ARRL is the non-profit organization which lobbies congress to help preserve amateur radio. There are hams which volunteer to help people become hams and proctor the examinations. The ARRL will have a list of those people - known as “elmers”. They also have extensive literature which you can purchase to help you pass the exam. The codeless technician license not that difficult.

Would it be possible to just listen without a license?
I guess I’m looking for a way to get information if the internet is censored.
