Studying for your FCC test can be a challenging task, but having a radio to aid in your learning process can provide encouragement and valuable insights. One important point to note is that you don’t need a license to purchase a ham radio, and although you’re not allowed to transmit without a license, listening in on the exchanges, call signs, and patterns of calls can greatly assist in your preparation.

My Current Radio Fleet

My collection is going to change over time as my radio interests evolve. Currently, my focus is on portable /mobile operations between 5 watts to about 100 watts for SSB and Digital Modes. I live in a HOA restricted development so higher powered base stations are not my current focus but I’m sure that will change at some point in the future.
