Well, actually, the Hosstraders is a fairly large ham radio flea
market, so it's not necessarily the best venue to learn how to get
a ham radio license (i.e., it's not a class), but you can learn
something about it by bumping shoulders with a lot of experienced
hams. I.e., it's like going to a model train show or a gun show -
you'll learn a lot of anecdotal information, but you probably won't
be able to shoot much straighter without some practice on your own
or taking some classes. However, you *may* be able to get info on
what classes might be coming up in the general area.

The ARRL is our national non-profit amateur radio club, and the page
I pointed out is the best place for beginners to get started. HRO is
a large retail vendor of ham radio equipment and they have a store
at 224 North Broadway in Salem (NH), 603-898-3750. In addition to a
lot of equipment on sale, they typically also have flyers about upcoming
events and classes and so forth, as well as local ham radio clubs.
