The Technician level license (Essentially it's all amateur frequencies above ~50Mhz, you do get some morse-code on a few lower bands, but they're hardly used by Techs) is very simple to get; there's a lot of "Ham Cram" classes, this is how I got mine. Essentially you study all morning interspersed with a quick primer on Ohms law, common-sense rules and regulations, etc... There has been a proposed enhancement to the Tech level to give them some lower frequency privileges that's causing a rift in the hobby since the new comers welcome it and the old-timers think it'll kill the hobby* and turn everything into CB radio. * Common amongst the old timers is that EVERYTHING that isn't morse code (CW) is killing the hobby.
