Q: Can you get a USA Ham Radio license WITHOUT giving the gob'ment your SSN?


If you're a US resident then who cares, the government already has your
SSN, they're the ones who gave it to you!

If you're a foreign operator who wants to be licensed to operate in the
US then clearly a US SSN is not a requirement, you probably have to send
them a birth certificate and proof of citizenship of some type and they
send you an FRN.
