And
there's no way you'd not recall obtaining a ham radio operator's permit.
It's not a simple task.

The tech test is simple and no morse anymore.

There are some who will argue that the tech license isn't really a ham
license at all. Of course that's prejudice, but techs really have no
privileges in the "low bands," rather what is known as the HF bands, 160M
through 10M. You'll need a general license to operate voice on 10M, and
you'll only require a southern accent, a handle, and an IQ of less than 30
to operate on 11M, the so-called Citizen's Band.
