This is amateur radio for those too young to know. It's like skype only
no video and you have to erect a tower to do it. If you are planning on
using it when the internet is down, you will need your own power source
because if the internet is down, there is a good chance that the
electric will be to.
The downside? If the tower that you build falls on your neighbor's land,
it might be lawsuit city. And your wife will do her regular evaluations
of your mental health.

Should really tell them your coming since space will be limited.
You can do a walk-in for the exam, but you need to contact them to
find out when to arrive.
With radios down to $35 on Amazon, and the test only $15 what's your
excuse?
The more people with FCC Licences the better it is for all Makers and
Tinkerers! Join us!
