how easy is it for a total noob to learn how to use a ham radios?
>>110216874As easy as reading all the info needed to use one properly, then getting your Fcc license at an arrl testing site for 15 dollars via a 25 question technical test(50 for extra class).

>>110216915Who said anything about broadcasting? And I've had a license for nearly a decade so why would I illegally broadcast in the first place?

>>110216874>turn on radio>tune to a frequency>press button and talk>no need to learn morse code anymore because computer software decodes it automatically at any frequency>don't talk on frequencies you're not licensed for>if you do want to talk on frequencies you're not licensed for, don't get caught. never use a real callsign. make one up if anyone asks for one and that concludes your ham radio course.
>>110216933Who said anything about repeaters? And how would one legally offer anything on a repeater without a license in the first place?
>>110216941By broadcasting a service or good in exchange for money.You don't know very much for claiming to have a license.Take your homosexual whoring back to where it belongs - behind the dumpster out back of the Cumberland farms
>>110216951Broadcasting anything on an amateur band without a license would be illegal. Hell, even with a license it's illegal

>>110216979>lots of people use repeaters and have no license at all. organizations like fcc only start giving a fuck if:Well sure. That doesn't change the fact that I never brought them up.

>>110216874Is being an operater fun? Do you hear anything interesting, or is it mostly noise? What's the cheapest way to get into this that's hobby grade and not a toy?
>>110216874UV-5Ranything more is bloat
I got my license, but everyone on the bands just seem to be stick in the muds. I have moved into almost exclusively playing with new antennas and DXing shortwave/mediumwave
