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

No. I order to get an FCC license of any type, you need to first get
an FRN number. To obtain an FRN number from the ULS section of CORES,
you need to give the FCC your TIN, which for individuals is your SSN:

"Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). For individuals this
is a Social Security Number and for businesses this is an
Employer Identification Number."
