I am a ham operator. Call sign is KG4VOC. I am running an
Icom 706mkIIG in the truck with a Lil Tarheel antenna.
Still trying to figure out a couple of things but it works well.

I heard a while back that you do not need to pass the code test to get a low power 25 watt or less lic. Is that the case?

No code test period for a HAM license in the US now. Just
the theory. Sites like hamtestonline.com are great tools
for prepping for the exams. While a code test is no longer
required it is still a fun mode of communication.
