If you do not have a Ham Radio license, they are easy to obtain. The FCC currently issues three different classes of amateur radio license: Technician, General, and Extra and in 2007 the FCC eliminated the mores code requirement for all amateur licenses.
There are many free on-line testing guides and practice test. You can also purchase study guides at HRO (Ham Radio Outlet), both on-line and in San Diego.
Location for HRO: 5375 Kearny Villa Road #113 San Diego, CA 92123. 858-560-4928.
We also have regularly scheduled one day Technician classes followed by a testing session. The classes have a 95% pass rate.
