To operate W4DFU and gain GatorOne card entry to the station you must obtain a FCC license. Three license classes are available; Technician, General and Extra. The technician is an entry level license but allows you operating privileges on many frequencies including those needed for satellite. It is easily obtained with a one day course and exam session.
You may prepare for the general exam and take the test if you wish at no additional cost. Just pass the technician and follow-up with the general exam. Additional references follow:
