One can learn for free, the syllabus for various National exams are available for free, and then exam fees are low ( USD 15 for each of the US levels which are easier than in other countries).

You can also install the EchoLink software on your smartphone and connect to the global Radio-Internet bridge network. No Amateur radio needed!
