Chpts 7 & 8 - Licensing & Operating Regulations
It’s time for the rules of the road, ham radio style! In the preceding chapters, you’ve learned the technology and customs of Amateur Radio. Now you have the background to understand what the rules and regulations are intended to accomplish. That background will make it a lot easier for you to learn (and remember!) the rules.
There are two chapters of the book that deal with the rules and regulations. Chapter 7 deals with licensing regulations: bands and frequencies, call signs, international rules, how licensing process works and so forth. Chapter 8 deals with rules about operating.
