Ham Licensing - Page 2

I came across a Technician and General license class being offered in New Britain, CT for free! I think each test will be $14.00, whadda bargain!!! Here is the link with info: ARRLWeb: Licensing Class Search

I don't think there are very many here that are local, I just wanted to make the info available. I talked to the instructor, he said that there will be instructors there to enable you to take the Technician and General Exam. I would have to schedule a different date for the Extra license. Would just taking the technician and general tests be enough for what I will be using the license for? Or should I schedule for the Extra exam. What benefit would it give me to get that Extra license. Also, I have a station license for the boat and a restricted operators license. Is that all I would need to use a Ham Radio for transmitting and receiving on all frequencies, radio faxes, emailing and such.

Thanks in advance for your time.
