IMPORTANT UPDATE: FCC Amateur Radio License Restructuring On December 30, 1999, the Federal Communications Commision announced an upcoming change in the amateur license structure. Effective April 15, 2000, the Novice classification will be eliminated, along with the Technician Plus and Advanced license catagories. The "beginner's" classification will simply be called the Technician class license. You will only have to take one written exam, which will, for now, come from the pre-restructuring Novice and Technician question pools. Morse code will not be required until the next class, called "General". So just study this site like you would have before the structure changed. Any updates in material content will be added if and when required.
