[SMCARA] Ham License

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

I forgot to mention that the Novice license was only good for a year and NOT renewable. Originally the novice had 2 meter voice privileges, but the ARRL lobbied to have it deleted and it was.  75 watts, crystal control, CW only on a small portion of 80, 40, and 15 meters. VFO control was added later.

Now that's an incentive to upgrade!

The Volunteer Examiner system has been instrumental in getting prospective hams their license. I am glad my local town Titusville had a VE test session which is where I tested back in '95.

You know, we have it pretty easy, ham radio wise, these days!

I was reading a May 1946 QST the other day and came across an article
summarizing the regs, now that ham operation was re-instated.? You may
not know that ham operations were prohibited for the duration of World
War II.

Ham licenses in those days were issued for five years.?
