Good thing is, your ham (amateur radio) license will not not require you to learn the morse code. To get into 2-meters and above VHF/UHF (handheld/repeater/packet), where most of this action would be happening, you'll pass a 30-question written test to show you know the rules. You can learn them from a book or join a class. You'd also be able to use voice on 10-meters (near the CB band)

Learn the needed details here: https://www.arrl.org/getting-your-technician-license/

You might find some people on CB doing this stuff ... why not? But the article was def about the ham scene.

Sorry for the late reply, just found this mention. My previous Lemmy client didn't bother to notify me.

So.

What did I do to prompt this and how did you go? Hope all is well.
