Metal roof eh, no worries, most home stations use outdoor antennas and there's lots of other options to get a signal out into the world. Honestly ham radio is probably the most technical radio service out there next to being an airforce electronic technician for a base radar and atc system. But it's NOT impossible if you're interested in learning. Just imagine how difficult it was to walk to a 4 month old and we all over came and were running by two!! 😁

First step, Google "amateur radio club near me" see if they are holding an event. Like swap meet, called hamfest. They may hold technician license classes. Either way use the contact information to make contact and just express your interest in becoming an amateur radio operator.

Hams tend to be very helpful and understanding that not everyone is Marconi (scientist that basically discovered radio). I was licenced at 12, and recently Tim Alan (yes that Tim Alan) became one too.
