You can spend a couple of hours one day soon to get your Ham license ( no morse code needed any more) from a Ham Cram session. Contact Dave Gomberg (dave1@wcf.com) for details. Two Ham Cram sessions were enough for me to renew a Ham ticket I had let lapse some 50 years ago...(grin)...so you can sure do it. Here is a copy of an email announcement from Dave Gomberg, the organizer of this session:
