Fast Ham Radio Technician License Part 1 (Ham Radio Setup and Use - Sub-Element T4)

[@Jedi_Jeff]

Who gave this a thumbs down?? This is a big help..

[@ShannonGlenda]

Haters going to hate.

A horrible person that’s who

[@Jedi_Jeff]

Ok I'll be honest, I got lazy going for a tech license this year with everything that has happened.. just dusted off my study guide and you put this out.. fantastic..

[@EverydayAdmin]

Same here, been running GMRS all year but now want more including digital and packet radio so Technician here I come :)

[@bthemedia]

agreed, this is a nice and engaging approach - just the info needed - and in a useful small chunk of time!

[@bknollman]

Hoping that you will take this right on up through Extra!

[@hebrewhooligan5462]

I just started studying a few weeks ago and I'm about to try the test. I just wanted to point out the main thing I have found with the questions that have an all above are correct. If its not the all above are correct then normally there is at least one anwser that will be outta left field. Also if your not 100% on your anwser reread all the answers and weed out the ones that you know are incorrect. That way if you weed out 2 answers then you have a 50/50 shot if your completely guessing. Goodluck everyone. Thanks for the video man.

[@AndyRoche]

I earned my Tech last year and would love to get my General and this format is great because you not only give the answer but the Why behind it. Please take this all the way through Extra!

[@jimlathrop3699]

Just passed my technician test. Got my call sign today! KJ7WNT. YEAH!!! On to General...

[@Cantstandbs]

The new format is much better. I maybe a bit tough but I like it straight to the point. The question answer format is great for someone like me. new and don't know any Hams to Elmer me. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@4thi.r.v.a949]

Passed my technician test today 8/10/23 watch your videos all month before the test. On to the General lessons for next month's test day already got 11 right not knowing anything for a cold testing try. Should be getting my call sign on Saturday for the technician, but I already have one for my service VD1S primary freq user. Thanks for your ham radio crash courses!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Woooo! Congrats!!

[@avann2006]

This is by far the best study mode I've found. The info discussed is completely relevant to the test questions, which greatly improves ability to recall the info later. I haven't seen any other similar study offerings elsewhere. Definitely keep this going! Great job!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Thank you! I appreciate the motivation!

[@ItsaMeLeah]

Where was this when I took my test?!

[@hunagirl6]

I’m here because of Praying Medic too. He’s such a good teacher himself that his credibility led me here. After watching several of your videos I see why he prefers learning from you.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Hey thanks!

[@jameskeithhurst6619]

I earned my Tech license yesterday (4/3/21). All of your videos that I have watched the last couple of months were what convinced me that I really wanted to get my license so thank you.

[@soderlund416]

Great video loved the format. Really like the little tid bits of info you mentioned while going over the questions. I really hope you continue to do these. Would love to see a set like this for extra at some point as I'm slowly working to upgrade from general.

[@danev1969]

I have taken the HamRadioPrep course and will take the Tech test is a few weeks. I've been taking the sample test they provide and almost always get 90% or higher. But when I took the random practice test today I saw a lot of questions I had not seen before. It occured to me that the test bucket was changed in the last few weeks. I ran across your videos and decided to watch this one on a whim. So glad I did. Very impressive approach to covering the questions. I look forward to viewing the rest of what you are doing and I plan to move onto the General test in a few months. I am 78 years old and fulfilling a long time goal. Thanks Joss. I hope to have a call sign soon. 78 (just a coincidence)

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

The question pool won’t change until June 2022

[@nicholaspetrish8383]

Yes!!!! Please discussing test questions and answers!

[@TheDXperiance]

Josh please do these more often. This is way more helpful having someone explaining the answers. I have no doubt that anyone that watches this video will ace this section of the test. Thanks

[@SwitchMonkey]

That was great. I wonder at the end of the video perhaps you should do a quick rehash of the questions you covered and only mention the correct answers. As a summary to the video. I enjoyed your explanations.

[@chrisrock340]

Perfect timing! I'm getting ready to take my test!

[@kristopherkatsch8056]

working on getting licensed myself it will be an awesome addition to the tool box never even considered ham radio till the pathfinder gathering of 2022 where i meet you👍

[@pattiwa3645]

I'm here to learn because Praying Medic recommended you. My husband also enjoyed listening to you & Ham 2.0 I find Ham 2.0 is easier when you follow the book with them.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Thanks for watching!

[@Steviegtr52]

A great guide for me. I took my city & guilds licence in the UK some years ago for basic. Never took the HF because i could not get my head around morse code. Since then morse has been dropped & i want to take my HF exam. This has helped me. Thank you.

[@tbobtbob330]

It's been 30 years since my degree in electrical engineering. Doubt that will help me much even if it was yesterday. I did take a cool senior-level class on high-power rf tubes (magnetrons, traveling-wave tubes, klystrons, etc), which will help me even less.

[@scottanthony1616]

Awesome job, I'm studying for my Tech License, I defiantly want to see more, I heard about your channel from David Canterbury, you now have a new subscriber. Take care, stay healthy and God bless you and your Family always.

[@elconquistador932]

Thanks for getting my arse in gear. Been watching a bunch of your videos. I’m scheduled to take my exam on 2-19. Cant wait!

[@rickg9456]

Been out of radio for 20 years now. And made the mistake of letting my license lapse. Please continue with this. I have a lot of catch up to do.

[@joecuppko40uh29]

LOL Now you do this passed tech last Saturday. Thanks for all your old vids, yours and David's and the ARRL study manual. Of the one's mentioned yours kept my attention the best and were the most entertaining and informative and to the point. Once you complete the Tech test are you going to do a series for the General test? I've already got my ARRL book, I bet Leah will watch. BTW great shirt!

[@timvrieling6324]

Thank you for this. Very much appreciate it. If you keep track, it would be my preference that you did not read the wrong answers.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

That seems to be the consensus.

[@markkeifert521]

This was good for Me. It you stayed on topic & injected some humor :). The Live shows tend to meander more & are not as conducive for learning for ME. If there is a way to activate the cc (closed caption) function it would help also. Worked around a lot of loud noise & it's taken it's toll. Thanks for this as it helps!! Keep doing these....

[@jameski5oeb668]

Sounds great, each explanation was concise!

[@charleswade2716]

Going for my tech license Apr. 17th. Been taking practice tests. Hope I'm ready.

[@whiteknight68]

really like your videos. trying to learn for the technician course. your videos are helping alot.

[@ShannonGlenda]

Great! Very helpful! One thing that would help more would be to not show the answer until you have finished reading the question. That would give us an opportunity to pause the video and try to answer before it is revealed.

[@dougrose4222]

I have not reviewed any guides here to fore. I do better when I try to guess the answer before having the answer revealed. I do thank you for the video.

[@wagz]

Hi newbie here. Yes please keep doing these and please keep this format and length. I plan to rewind and watch each segment and keeping them short would help me digest the info. Separately, you are reading from a Mac laptop. I'm a Mac user but it seems that everything in Ham happens on a PC. I'm not finding a lot of interface apps for Mac to ICOM equipment for example. Do I need to also get a Windows based PC?

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Thanks for the feedback! You might want to watch this too. The Best Laptops For Amateur Ham Radio. New and Used! Update On Ham Radio License Fees!

[@bass76kid]

please keep this up and go fully through!

[@r0naldzuccala198]

Hello well thankyou for this information. It's much appreciated.

[@whit4d]

The only thing I was thinking is maybe not show the correct answer until you reveal it verbally. Just a thought, very helpful and would love to see you go all the way through Extra. Thanks for helping out.

[@jeremiahkc1lda816]

Looking forward to the General test questions and above. Want to start getting into HF. Would be interesting to see if I can hit CA from CT.

[@kollmorgen1]

Thank you. This really helped me prepping for my tech test.

[@alexanderluna1158]

Great video. Appreciate the explanation of the questions and answers. It can sometimes be difficult to grasp certain concepts when your more of a practical hands on learner like I am and the info helps greatly. Thank you

[@NoSaveData]

Thank you good sir for this vid, taking my tech exam on the 24th of this month, thank you for the help :) Edit: got the tech ticket and even tried my luck on general, 3 off passing general (so close but so far, then again didn’t even study general yet so..) props to glaarg and Lakeside Amateur Radio Club for the helpful and kind VEs and the welcoming atmosphere :) and of course you sir for the review

[@doctorfloc]

Thank you very much for this.

[@chriscroley9279]

This is a great thing to grow the amateur radio hobby.

[@timbrwolf2238]

Love these, thanks!

[@redwards2006]

Thank you creating this helpful vicious. Hope you continue. From upstate NY

[@TheNoCodeTech]

Thanks for doing this Josh. Team replay for the win! Great video

[@jerryblankenship9908]

You did real good , hearing them from you I mised 4 & for me that is good

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Great! I’m glad this helped!

[@tonykg5ton897]

23:42 Bring on the polar coordinates and the phase angles!

[@djeepee]

Hi Josh, THX for the great video. I just wish there would be a Dutch channel doing what you do because I'm studying for what's called a "novice licensed radio amateur" exam asap in The Netherlands. But anyway the technical background fundamentals for radio amateurs are universal so watching this will help passing my exam.

[@JSMachine1]

The thing that helps me the most when studying is to eliminate all the wrong answers. I laterally typed out this whole study guide, every single question, with the correct answer. The only questions with all answers are the ones that say "all of the above are correct." This speeds up studying tremendously for me, and burns in the correct answers.

[@rainypath96]

Yea I feel like I’m taking in too many of the wrong answers as he reads out the whole list. Wish he would just read the correct answer and then explain

[@jcurren00]

Great job! Good use of time. Simple straightforward and to the point. Keep it up

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Thanks Jackie.

[@BellofattoBrews]

Passed my technician exam about a month ago and figure why not try general. Will be taking that exam on the 10th of April. So I figure if I pass that one I might as well go for the trifecta and do the extra but I’ll take longer before sitting for that one. KC3RKO

[@tm8747]

thank you josh, your video is a learning to beginers like me. reading the FCC books you would have to be a electrical engineer or computer wiz. to read all the mum bo gumbo the codes, you would have to be in the military . bring on the next video an t wait to learn more from you.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Thank you!! I’m working on more this weekend!

[@taz9075]

Thank you and very helpful video. I’m trying to study for my tech license.

[@gjcascade652]

Liked this very much do hope the next one is coming out soon.

[@justhavingfun0736]

Thanks Josh these are very helpful!! As always appreciate you man!!

I love that shirt but I love the crash course more

[@bobcollins4246]

Hey brother I'm prepping for my test. How about a 2022 update? 51 new questions and 257 modified questions. Total 8n pool is 412.

[@jeffw5195]

Love the organ trail shirt.

[@herringtons04]

Great man! Keep then coming!

[@gamalielshapira]

That shirt is gold.

[@elmono4766]

Im here now Josh. Thanks

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Awesome!

[@AZREDFERN]

I mostly want to get a HAM license, because the more I hear people talk about it, it sounds like the most basic math, electrical engineering, and computer science. The only hard part is learning acronyms and jargon.

[@palehorse7377]

most of it is utterly irrelevant to actually operating a radio.

[@benharmon9575]

This was great! Was there ever a part 2? Did a brief search and look through your channel and didn't find one, just curious.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Working on a bunch more parts now. 👍

[@King.DAVid.III2022]

Thanks brother, that was great, I guess I need to study for the tech, and general. I hear my radio is illegal without it. Galaxy 98vhp. Online testing would be great 👍😊

[@jjjh20man]

Great Channel man keep up the good work

[@robertbeda959]

Hi Josh! Thanks so much for your videos and encouragement. Finally did it at 70 years old. Did not realize 4-18-22 was Amateur Radio Day, but tested and am now KF0IYN. Saved the 35 bucks, too!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Congrats!!

[@Okiedrew]

Awesome... Ready for the next...

[@Dave-zb9dq]

Good stuff keep posting them📯

[@DakotaDoc]

Enjoyed it, excellent explanations.

[@sharpgrail9506]

GREAT video! This was so helpful!

[@billyjosie]

Keep it up please this is very helpful

[@BryanTorok]

Test Strategy: If you are certain that 2 of the choices are correct but aren't sure of the third, the answer is "All of these choices are correct." Likewise, if you are sure that ONE of choices is incorrect, the answer is NOT "All of these choices are correct." Applying this can increase your guessing average. It is best to understand the material, not just memorize the answers. But, passing the test and going back for the deeper understanding later is a valid strategy.

[@stridermt2k]

Good stuff! Get your ticket for what looks to be a great sunspot cycle!! 73 de N2NLQ

[@lindseymarie8001]

Just have to say - love the shirt!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Funny story, the guy that made that meme is actually my kids scoutmaster and is a standup comedian.

[@babytexan3038]

Why June 2022? Thanks for the video!

[@EnriqueSonora]

This was awesome

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Thanks!

[@toxicityD]

Can't wait for Part 2, but is there a good source for the why behind these answers?

[@DarrenWinsett]

the HAM study website just went down for me at T7

[@robertallen3133]

Fantastic video ! Thank you !!!!!

[@JimJWalker]

I am a musician/audio engineer that is getting into HAM and going to take my Technicians license test soon. With tube guitar amplifiers, more than a few times over the years, radio stations can be heard through the amp. If I put a ferrite choke on my guitar cord would that stop the reception?

[@Screamingtut]

this is an easy test vs when I took my test back in 1980 at the FCC field office in NYC, plus mine was 100 Questions and the Tech test was the General theory test because I flunked the 13 WPM code test.

[@paulhastings3109]

Going over the answers, just might learn that I should know 73 KQ4CD

[@anthonythomas8443]

At least through general. I would like to stretch it out a little to include why it’s “not” the others even if it’s silly. This helps to understand the meaning behind the reason.

[@BiffFPV]

Super helpful. Love the shirt.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@smithkart]

well, your it, goanna go through the videos and take test! let hope!! :)

[@JoshieB93]

Are you going to make a 2023 study playlist?

[@SHTFchef]

I have difficulty with the memorize the answers approach, need some theory behind the questions.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I talk about the right answers in the video and why they right.

[@josephmalachosky7141]

Your shirt is spot on! Lol

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

My kids scoutmaster made that meme. Lol

[@dancoursey5447]

Thank you. Keep it going.

[@barryroberts4146]

Also , will you cover every possible question that could be on the test ? Thanks for all you do ! BTW I'm getting my GMRS license later this month .

[@barryroberts4146]

Josh, do you know yet in what time frame you will complete the series for technician ?

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I just started it. So idk? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@TheDXperiance]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse I think if you do it'll bring more new hams to the hobby. Many of the people may have never even touched a radio and are intimidated . I realize just producing this content may be time consuming perhaps you could get together with your KZbin buddies and do these preps. This helps so much.

[@paulhastings3109]

Interesting about taking the test 73

[@zapalskic]

The Alternator Question was similar to your Birthday quiz you gave to your wife a few years ago.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Hahah yes.

[@theotherryan]

It this series for the current test question pool?
