Cellphone covers most everything
Perhaps. In some areas. Here in the West, however, there are still vast areas that have no cell coverage.
I took the tests and got my General Class Ham license. It cost $15 to take the Technician test and the General test on the same day. The preparatory class given by the local Ham Radio Club was free. No code is required.
I have two 2 meter/70 centimeter 5 watt handhelds, a 2 meter radio in the motorhome (75 watt output), an all mode all band radio in the truck, an all band all mode radio at home, and a 100 watt hybrid HF radio.
I also have several 40 channel CBs that are not in use at the present time.
