Somewhat oddly, and this also applies to another federally-monitored (Hobby) prospecting, there are no statutory age requirements. there have been ( most exceptionally) some adult-coached Hams as young as 8 in the fifties. There are different categories of exams for different classes of operators ( within the Ham envelope- this does not include C.B. ) some require code proficiency, some do not.

Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
How do you build a CB tube linear?
Have you ever stopped to wonder why they're not available to buy in stores ? Why Radio Shack and Best Buy don't sell them, and not even Cobra makes them ? Why one costs a fortune if you can find a guy in the bar who's willing to sell you one ? Why you never see them advertised anywhere ? That's right . . . selling them is illegal, because using them is illegal. If you were to read up on it and get a ham operator's license, you'd know how to build a high-power linear, but you wouldn't want it anymore.
What is the frequency limit which can transmit without license?
There are several narrow slices of license-free radio spectrum. The easiest way for us to both answer and evade your question at the same time is to say that any radio equipment you can buy and legally operate without a license will be built in such a way as to have its operating frequency limited to the legally permitted band. Plus ... here's a little-known fact that most owners of such equipment never suspect ... those frequencies are clearly identified and plainly written right out in the open, in the instruction manual that comes with the equipment ! If you're unlicensed, then it's never legal to transmit with equipment that you've built on your own.
