To get your technician's license, you have to pass
an exam consisting of 35 multiple-choice questions. If you answer
74% or more correctly, you're a ham! All questions on the written
ham radio exams are drawn from a public "pool" of questions.
You can download
all of the multiple-choice questions and answers from American
Radio Relay League (ARRL) web site.
ARRL has great information
and resources to help you obtain your first ham license- a Technician
license. ARLL has developed the web site Hello-Radio to
give you an overview of Ham Radio and how you
can get started.
One of the best ways to prepare to take the test
for your license is to take Practice tests that are available
from many sources. All of the practice tests ask EXACTLY same
questions, but they use different formats to present the questions
and answers. Below are some site where you can practice.

When you are ready to take your test, you can find
a testing location near you.
ON Saturday March 1, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Yolo
Amateur Radio Society will
offer a one-day class for
anyone wishing to get started in amateur radio with a "no-code" technician
class license.There will be a test session
following the class
The class will be directed towards preparing participants
to take and pass the exams necessary for a "no-code" technician
license. Subjects will include FCC rules, simple electronic theory,
radio
operating practices, and help with other facets of getting started
in amateur radio. It is highly recommended that the "The
ARRL Ham Radio License Manual" be read
prior to class. Everything needed to pass the test is included in
the video but it is a lot of information to retain in one sitting.
Good luck! We hope to hear you on the air!
