Are you new to Amateur Radio and wondering what it is, how it works, and where to begin? Maybe you just want to learn who becomes a ham radio operator, what a net is, or how you can talk all over the world without a billion dollars of infrastructure. Maybe you are wondering if anyone actually uses morse code anymore.
Find out about all the basics and more on our Ham Radio FAQ page.

Please visit our Get Licensed page to learn more about obtaining your amateur radio license.
The FCC requires applicants to pass a multiple choice exam before an amateur radio license can be issued. These exams are given by licensed radio amateur Volunteer Examiners, VEs, that want to give back to the hobby.
The Weld Amateur Radio Society has partnered with the Patriot VE Team to provide free Greeley area Amateur Radio License Exams. These sessions will usually take place on the third Saturday of even numbered months at 9:45 a.m. The Longmont Amateur Radio Club sponsors free Patriot VE Team test sessions on the 4th Saturday of odd numbered months so there is always a free session in the area about once a month.
There are exceptions so make sure to verify the date and times and register for future Greeley and Longmont area exam sessions at HamStudy.org
