It's not even a state by state thing. Some states require one if you do more than a certain amount of work. Oregon does for all but your own house.
The answer is "42"

Normally it's the city that requires one, unless you are in an un-incooperated (sp?) area.
As far as states go you should have a low voltage contractors lic.

Also a General Class Amatuer Radio Operator.

California requires a contractors license. You can get a C-7 license which is low voltage, or a C-10 license (which I have) that is for all electrical wiring.
Taken from a website that specializes in contractor study materials and test preps
"In California, to qualify to become a licensed contractor an individual must be 18 years of age or older and have the experience and skills necessary to manage the daily activities of a construction business, including field supervision, or must be represented by someone else with the necessary experience and skills, who serves as the qualifying individual.
The contractor or other person who will act as the qualifying individual must have had, within the ten years immediately before the filing of the application, at least four full years of experience at a journey level, or as a foreman, supervisor, or contractor in the classification for which he or she is applying. The experience claimed on the application must be verifiable and individuals who have knowledge of the experience must certify the accuracy of the experience information provided by the applicant.
Step 2. Obtain an Application for Original Contractor's License or call us at 1-800-966-9596.
Step 3. Complete the application and all accompanying forms in ink or with a typewriter.
Forms completed in pencil will be returned to you.
Take the time to read and follow carefully the instructions attached to the application. Note especially that if you are applying for credit for experience, all experience and certifications in support of experience must be submitted with the application. No experience verification will be accepted after the application has been accepted.
Proofread your application for any omissions. If the Contractors Division has to return the application to you for any missing information, your license will be delayed.

NOTE: Applicants with a disability requiring special testing accommodations must complete Form 13E-77, Special Accommodation Request For Examination.
