Seriously, the max commitment it took from me was reading the ARRL's cheap Kindle guidebook on passing the exam (which was useful for the non-EE parts I wasn't as familiar with, like the traditional frequency offsets for repeaters, atmospheric effects, licensing technicalities, etc), and one hour on a weekend at the local radio club to actually take the test. You can do infinite practice tests online for free to see if you're ready. My free time is currently deeply in the red and I somehow managed it, so just about anyone can. :-) - Dave

I just got mine this past weekend (KC3ZTJ, if anyone is interested, though it will be a bit before I have a rig set up)! Jeff, you should 100% do it, it’s a pretty easy exam and it’s good for 10 years.
Woohoo, congrats!
