An Amateur Radio license is not required to join TUARC. However, a license is required for unsupervised access to club station K3TU in Room 723C of the Engineering Building (12th and Norris Streets). Earning an Amateur Radio license requires the study of basic electronic and radio theory and Federal Communi
cations Commission regulations. A knowledge of Morse code is no longer required for the Technician, General and Extra class licenses, although Morse code activity remains a strong component of Amateur Radio. Easy-to-use study manuals for the entry level Technician license are the Ham Radio License Manual and the ARRL Tech Q&A, published by the ARRL. The ARRL also has audio CDs for learning Morse Code.
Amateur radio has many facets of interest. Amateur radio remains in the forefront of experimental technology with software define radio, microwave and satellite transmission and homebrew projects. Amateur radio provides 
trained corps of volunteers for public service emergency communication. For world-wide fellowship and challenges there are on-the-air contests and activities.
