About the only reason a person couldn't get their license would be where they live. Single family home or rural usually works well, although association bylaws can present a problem in some communities. A flag pole used as a "stealth" vertical can be a solution. There's numerous "stealth" methods for getting on the air from apartments, dorm rooms and the like...sometimes by dropping a fine wire off a balcony or connecting it to fishing line tossed through a nearby tree. And indoor antennas can work surprisingly well on the HF ham bands. Can't forget mobile and portable operation, either.

No code means a LOT of us who lusted after "the ticket" but couldn't get it will finally be able to explore that fascinating hobby.
