Re: Communications Preparations
Ham Licensing changed big time in the late 90's, early 00's while you still need to pass a test, you no longer need to worry about "Code" aka learning to type x number of words per minute send receive in Morse code.The tests themselves do get a little technical but study aids on smart phones and http://hamtestonline.com get most people their license. Also many HAM clubs sponsor or know of "Boot camps" that teach the test in a weekend, it's like drinking from a fire hose, it's how I got my ticket, but you have the benefit of having a test right after the "class". Depending on the VE team, it'll cost the FCC fee of $15 for paperwork, some teams wave the fee and take it from their parent club.

Re: Communications Preparations
I got my license in 93 in 6 land. My folks, who just had gotten their license, had a computer program that would give you all the possible questions in random order, and let you know if you got the right one. I practiced with it for about a week. Had no issues with the test. It was a no-code tech license, so while I did try learning code, I never did get any good at it.

Re: Communications Preparations
I bought the book and tried to learn to get my HAM license sometime back in the '90s and gave up. I don't think I could learn morse code if my life depended on it. For this tech license I studied the hamstudy.org site and passed with flying colors, way ahead of everyone else in the class and they had pencils, paper and calculators. But when I left I didn't know anything and probably couldn't pass the test today.
