 the appropriate FCC office for the region of the US in which you live, they
 should be able to send you a packet of info which will detail the whole

Nope!  Wrong and wrong!  This all changed recently.  One no longer needs the
licenses in teh US, BUT if a US citz goes to Mexico or Canada, they need a
license, so that means you need a US license if you are going abroad IF they
honor US licenses.

Contact FCC for current details.
