Google on "FCC form 406" and be quite liberal in your story about why you need
the license...don't LIE, but use puffery to the extent you are comfortable with
it. Me? I had 350 students in my "flight school". I didn't have to tell them
that it was over the course of 35 years of instruction that I accumulated those
"students".

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:
-unless the "unused" frequency is assigned by license to either
-you or the ground station.
-
-Jim, got a link for how to apply for the permit required?
-
-I learned that (perhaps it's a state law) law-enforcement types don't want you
-to use a portable scanner-type radio tunable to cop frequencies when you're
-mobile. It's understandable, given the tendency of Bad Guys to use such a
-situation to evade enforcement. But a licensed ham radio operator is exempt
-from that. I carry a printout of that regulation in my glove compartment
since
-I carry a portable scanner...even though it's programmed only with aviation
-frequencies.
-
-If it's not ferociously expensive I could see getting the required license in
-case I can ever afford a mobile radio that transmits on the av freqs, too.
