He's too humble to do so, but I'll say it: Josh is kind of a big deal in the HAM community. We love him!

[jokern]

Everybody in the radio community knows Josh.
He is required viewing for the new folks

[Bobu]

I was laughing at Mike's expressions when the reply was "Are you Josh?". There are guys and gals that I have never met face to face but know when I hear them on the radio, from all over the world. It is a funny hobby sometimes.

I’ve been a HAM for 28 years, first got my ticket when I was 12 years old because of my Dad. Now that I’m a father I’m getting my young kids into it because they won’t be getting cell phones and we use them 4x4, MTN bikes, and skiing. But around the neighborhood, they use GMRS frequencies and we have a base station right with a J-pole in the kitchen that everyone can hear. Plus if there is a disaster they know already what to do.

I mean, if I hear Josh come up on my local repeater, I’m gonna be pretty stoked.

[glenncapone]

"He knows who you are!"
Mike, your face was priceless, you are hanging out with every new ham's Elmer

[randlecarr]

Gotta love Josh clipping into the chandelier and getting recognized by some random on a repeater. Legend.

[johngolini]

Just took my technician test today. Got a 100. Thanks Josh! The volunteers from our local ham club played Josh's test prep video series, with all the exam pool questions. That, coupled with about 15 practice tests from Hamstudy, and I was super comfortable.

I can remember back in 2007ish I knew a professor of analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis who was BIG into Amateur Radio and He and a ton of friends went down to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina to set up comms to aid emergency services because telecoms were ABSOLUTELY JAMMED because of the volume of calls. Learning about that use of Ham radio piqued my interest. It’s not just old coots sitting in their shed out back trying to reach the next holler in the Appalachians. 😂

[LEXPIX]

Two of my favorites subjects experts in one video. Keep up the good work guys.

[uMalice]

I'm in Highland and a GMRS user . I rarely reach other users when randomly attempting QRS however, I reach my mother in Lehi easily when planned comms are going. The lesson is test your gear and have a comms plan in case of an emergency. Excellent video Glover. GMRS is a great starting point and HAM is if you want to go deeper into the hobby. Josh is a real celebrity to HAMs and a true ambassador of the hobby.

I love these collab’s. It’s how I find new and interesting channels. I essentially found Fieldcraft Survival from The Modern Roque through HRCC. Love to see channels collaborating when they have overlapping aspects, best part!

[marksmadhousemetaphysicalm]

What I love about HAM radio is learning about the fundamentals of radio engineering and building all kinds of cool stuff…you do learn to become a solid radio engineer…

[JustMillion]

Josh's videos helped me pass the Technician exam in 2021! Love his channel!

[Bidenshandler]

Love this, I was a 13F for 8 years had plenty of experience with radios moved to a small town northern maine they’re having all of us on the volunteer FD get ham radio qualified.

[rsisente]

As someone who lives quite a distance from most emergency services, radio is paramount. I have all the NOAA channels programed in, and listen when bad weather is inbound.

[jimjone]

Great to see both of you together. You should have Josh on showing a JS8Call net for emergencies.

[Hanesy]

I never imagined that i'd be hooked up into HAM. Technicalities and all that is fun!. Enjoy the hobby fellow hams 😅

[LifeAtTerminalVelocity]

Josh is a great resource for radio comms. You guys are lucky to have him.

[emorysmith]

He is the reason. I became a ham radio operator and the original video that he did with you is the one that started it all for me.
