Well, it's never too late to become a radio amateur! With the removal of
the morse code requirement for all license classes, it's really just a
practical engineering written test. A fairly simple one at that. Really,
it is a little sad to say that a ham radio license doesn't imply the
same level of technical ability that it once did. You no longer need to
design oscillators as part of the test (or even identify them? I can't
remember if I had to identify one on the extra test). However, with that
being said, I very much approve of the FCC's move to make it easier to
obtain a license for the casually interested engineer. They even release
the test questions (and answers!) ahead of time. At $10/10 years, I
maintain that amateur radio licensing is the current best deal available
from the US government.

I have 2, NIB.
The thing is, although I'm heavily into tube audio, I have never been
into high power RF - I have built a few low-power AM & FM xmtrs, but
I'm not a radio amateur.
There are some that have built audio PAs with these tubes - I just
like the look of them !
