I recently had a chance to deliver an "elevator talk" on ham radio, and was looking for a video that would sum things up in a nutshell for someone who expressed interest. Nice job, Josh, and good to see the ARRL taking advantage of your presentation skills! 73 de N2PEZ

Excellent video. I have a few acquaintances in the prepper community that, while they use radio, are not licensed but are thinking about taking the Tech test. This will go a long way to talking them into getting licensed. Thanks for what you do. Hoorah Bro --KD0FKI

Something that needs to be said is the cost of equipment. That Icom shown in the early part of this conversation goes for three thousand dollars. By scanning around your shack, I would guess there's in excess of 20,000 dollars of equipment - including the parts that aren't showing: the antennas. You CAN start with small money, but the fact of the matter is that it's an expensive pass time....

I got started for less than $50 with a Baofeng UV5R on a local repeater. Local network every Saturday morning at 9 am. Joined the local ham club that puts on the network for $15.

Just who is the audience for this video? I love when we hams use "commercial off-the-shelf" equipment, we get a pan of a Ham Radio Outlet? Which is a niche store... I was half-expecting you to go into a WalMart and MacGyver yourself a Part 97 radio... so far as I know FRS has retail market supremacy.

@dougearnest75903 жыл бұрын
Have you discussed this with your Congressman or someone from his or her office? Personally I don't think a lot of people see it as a lot of money, but if it's important to you then drum up some support from like minded people and make something happen. That's something we do in the USA, as opposed to the USSR. In addition, even if you can't get anywhere with the Feds, what about tackling the issue on the state level? Granted, the state can't override the FCC, but you might still get some sort of recognition in the form of -- maybe eliminating sales tax on HAM equipment? Or a break in your state income tax if you have one? I'm sure you or others could think of additional incentives to balance out what the Feds charge you for volunteering. Let me know what you come up with. As someone interested in advocacy on the state level I'd love to hear more ideas.
