In the UK, you don't need a license before you can buy the equipment,.. but you need a license before you are allowed to transmit on your chosen set

The first test in this country is called the `Foundation` license,.. it consists of 26 questions of which you will need to get 19 of them correct, the test covers safety, antennas, transmitters and receivers, wavelengths, and protocol,... part of the foundation license has a practical stage where so many boxes have to be ticked off before you do your test,..i.e. you have to make a couple live calls on different bands, show that you can use the equipment and set it up correctly
A major part of survival is invisibility.
