An amateur radio license is an entry level license. It is
not a university degree. When I obtained all amateur privileges
at the age of 15, I didn't know squat. All I had done is memorize
the ARRL License Manual. Six years later I had a EE degree. What
is wrong with learning the technical stuff after one obtains his
entry level license?

Do you know how to construct an IC-756PROII?
