How do I become a “ham” radio operator?
I have wanted to become a ham radio operator for some time now, but everytime I start doing the research on what I need in the way of equipment and licensing, I get overwhelmed.
Can anyone help me get started? What license forms do I need? What equipment should I get? What do I need to know about amateur radio?
