In the USA, Amateur radio operator licenses are granted by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), just as radio and TV station licenses are.
There are a few different classes (levels) of license available, with somewhat
different privileges for each class, but each is granted with the same procedure:
The individual takes a multiple-choice written test, and is granted a license (and
a call sign) if he scores 74% or better on the test. The test questions cover the
FCC rules and regulations associated with the Amateur Radio service, and also
some principles related to electronics and operating procedure. A good place to
start is the website of the American Radio Relay League, an organization in the
US that's dedicated to Amateur Radio. Follow the Related Link below to go to
their licensing page. Good luck! -- K2KQU --

In the USA, the license is granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ... just like every authorization to transmit radio, no matter for what purpose. In the case of an amateur ("ham") license, the individual has to pass a test that covers topics in the rules and regulations that relate to the Amateur Service, plus a few technical subjects. There are enough magazines, books, tapes, sample tests, and publications of all kinds to fill a small library, of materials designed to introduce you to Amateur Radio and help you prepare for the test. The best place to start is the website of the American Radio Relay League. It's been the largest organization representing Amateur Radio for most of the 100 years that the hobby has existed.
