Amateur Radio is a hobby that everyone can enjoy, however, a license is required to operate on Amateur Radio frequencies. Today, all that is required to obtain a license is passing the Technician class written test. Years ago to become an amateur operator morse code was required. Today morse code is only required to upgrade to a General or Amateur Extra license; which offers amateur's more operating privileges.
