[NJARC] Amateur Radio License

[Scott Roberts]

Hi Guys- Here are a couple questions for the "Hams" in the
club...

I am getting ready to take my Technician exam, hopefully in the
next few weeks, and I had a couple questions I could not find
answers to as readily as I would like on the ARRL site...

First, from what I can see, there is no licensing fee from the
FCC- just a testing fee from whomever administers the test- is
this correct?

Second- there is no longer ANY morse testing requirement? Just
work out morse on your own, and take a whack at it, once
licensed?

Third, I would like to request my late Uncle's call sign: Would I
be able to, as a Technician, under the "Vanity" call sign plan?
The call sign was WB3KSM and he was licensed as a "Novice" It
expired in 1997, about the same time he started going downhill
with Alzheimers, before becoming an SK.

And lastly, does anyone know off hand what freq's I could operate
a BC-375 on that would fall within the amateur bands? Looks like
the 80 meter range hits where part of the BC-375 operates...

Thanks
Scott
