Best Answer

The most important fact to know is that you're required to have a government license

before you do any transmitting.

Check out the attached link to the American Radio Relay League ... the most

informative and influential association of amateur radio in the USA for almost

100 years now. Among a lot of other things there, you'll also find all the guidance

you want in the direction of becoming an active, licensed 'ham'.
