GMRS guy here looking to get into HAM and a better understanding of it, I've learned more in the first 40 minutes of this video than the combined information in dozens of other videos and websites. Think I found a new home.

[Subdood]

Started my journey in Ham after seeing you on Fieldcraft with Mike Glover. Passed my Tech and General exams yesterday.

[androidfan]

Josh I love this crash course. Really appreciate all you do for the hobby !

[angelscomputers]

Over 25 years licensed and never thought about the slinky example/analogy, it’s perfect. As usual, great job Josh, you are awesome.

[pinkpantherak]

I’ve been a ham for a few years. I’m a general but I still learned a ton from this video. Keep up the great work!

[arie]

Kind of ironic that low frequencies bounce off atmosphere and higher punch through and yet higher frequencies don’t penetrate terrestrial obstructions as well as lower frequencies.

[josie]

HUGE proponent on learning how to research!! This is how I like to teach others as well, idk if it’s just me but personally I feel like growing in such an age where everything is spoon fed via media logarithms that we don’t teach our young how to find the legitimacy and credible sources without having them just pop up on our feeds. Obviously groups and clubs are WONDERFUL, but knowing how to help yourself is crucial. For ANYTHING in life lol. Just found your channel, love what you’re putting out!!

[DonzLockz]

Good crash course Josh, there's always something to learn or re-learn because of forgetting.😄👍

[MarcMcClure]

I love that you keep on talking fundamentals even though this stuff is old hat to you...keep it up...just joined!

[Aylah]

I'm new here and really appreciate your thorough explanation; I've learned so much. This information is especially valuable for me as a healthcare worker. I've gained a lot of knowledge about the differences in frequency radios. I'm now looking into buying my first Ham radio and am steadily learning more. I plan to take the test soon. Thank you again!

[MichaelSantiago-ys]

Really appreciate you breaking down all of this material, it's really easy to understand coming from you!

[radiotests]

Great course and you didn't promote any cheesy Italian coax or 500 watt TYT or garbage uSDX. Just a purely helpful and informative video a week ahead of Field day. You and Leah are a class act Im proud to support.
pro tip for new Hams.
Get the Yaesu 2980r VHF mobile 2 meter rig for $170
It's perfect to try out Ham radio, 80 watts and a yagi will reach over those repeaters you don't like. It's bullet proof and easy to operate. And has great resale value.

[boisinnawoods]

Thanks to your videos I passed technician in March and I'm studying for my general. I'm having fun playing with my feng and rtl-sdr and saving up for an all band all mode portable radio for use at home and for pota/sota

[gmbetancourt]

Great job on all of your videos and your presentation style is so easy to follow. You have singlehandedly peaked my interest into this hobby. Thanks!

[ReneDumont]

Hey Josh, thank you for videos and teachings; truly appreciate it! I don't have my license yet but studying towards it.i guess I'm one of those who want to learn as much as possible before passing the exam. Or maybe I'm a bit lazy and want to score 80% or higher so I get access to all the frequencies right away. I'm in Canada. And only being able to listen is a good motivation for me to study. So far anyway. 73

[Baumrah]

Thank you for your content! HAM seems very daunting, but your videos have helped motivate me to get my license/s.

[frankrobinson]

Josh thank you for breaking this down, and peaking my interest again. I took my novice license test in the early seventies, but could not pass the CW. Found out now about the technician and no code license and we'll start studying again. Always been on the fringes of ham, and shortwave listening.I just finished making a 11 meter dipole. Now being retired, in the various methods to study for and take the tests I hope to be joining the ranks soon

[MrRocker]

68% never studied… cable tv tech, a lot of similar focus points, we covered 4-47mhz return and 52-760mhz forward (closed loop 75ohm antenna)

[Mr.Thermistor]

I was scanning frequencies on my way home from work tonight and I found you having a conversation with a couple other people! I don’t have my license yet so I’ve just been scanning and listening to whatever breaks squelch lol awesome to hear you out here, I’m relatively close to where you said you were I won’t name locations for opsec, but about 30 miles from you and everything was loud and clear. Would naming the repeater I heard you on be any concern for opsec? Im listening on a uv5r with a little 6 inch magnet mounted antenna stuck on the roof of my car 😂😂😂 these baofengs truly are impressive for what they are

[adamgriffith]

Hi, my name is Adam and I'm been thinking about getting all my ham licenses for awhile now, So I'm just starting seriously watching your video and studying online I have order the books that you recommended.
