Lets Get Our General License! Pt. 1 Basic Operation | Ham? Radio Crash Course
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2018
- We're kicking off the General license study time on a special day! Thursday this week! We cover the intro to HF operation comparing it to Technician VHF/UHF operation. As always I'll do it live with my radios to get the point across!

Passed my Technician license test yesterday. Thank you for the 10 video series. Really appreciate it!!
@davidmills1646 Congratulations! I just passed the technician license today. Looking forward to the general license in a few weeks. Thank for all the great content @hamradiocrashcourse
Currently studying for my Technician license
👏👏👏👏
Thanks to you, and a few friends of mine, I passed the Technician test today, and I’m working toward my General, now. ❤
Licensed for half a century. About five calls over that period. Now KC1CCG. CW my favorite mode. Navy taught me to copy at 40WPM . Fun hobby with many aspects. I like the tech part. Don't be intimidated if you are new to it. QRP is a great challenge (getting by with low power) get into it, learning, building and operating CW keeps the brain exercised. 73 (my age too!)
I think I hear a repeater sending out CW …i’ve tried to write it down, it comes so fast dot dot dash
10:30 course actually starts.
Thank you
Thank you! Almost bailed thinking it was a joke.
the one thing about ARES … they like to organize lists of all the repeaters in the area, and which local regions are expected to be on which simplex frequencies … then publish that. 💜 Grab those lists! 👍
Wish you'd do another of these. This video is not bad, but there's something about watching it live. Also, several new versions of the general book have been released since you made this.
Been a tech for a year or so now, time to take that next step. 👍 Enjoy your vids - there's just enough info above my head to keep me reaching! 🤑
KG4QQR here - Back after 15 years of inactivity - The cheap Baofengs piqued my interest. Passed the General written test 20 years ago but could never get a handle on CW.. Enjoying your videos so far THANKS!!!
Thx! Just finished Tech and received my license (KC3UXS), so leveraging your 4yr-old series to knock out General. 73.
Thank you and congrats!
Since I've finished OHSA 30 for work, now I can concentrate on the General. Thank you for the videos.
OOFF. I keep avoiding OSHA 30. 10 was brutal enough.
@@hillogical Unless you are in production head or business management I wouldn't take the OHSA 30. It hasn't gotten me any extra work. Specially now with the China virus..
Am enjoying your videos. Have my Tech (plus from years ago) and am trying for General. Thank you for this fun video series! Love that you like beer. :)
Thanks for the response. I am going thru the ARRL test exam. I'll try the link you mentioned. Thank you. Cramming for an exam this Saturday.
halfway into watching this, and my local VHF repeater starts popping. 😂 I totally forgot there was a Net tonight. 😅
got my technician 6 years ago and did nothing. now I am studying for the general and you are stop #1. Lets see how it goes.
Is there a lisence for gmrs radios and ham radios separately? I have a pair of motorolla cp200 uhf and vhf so I heard u need lisence for those type of radios and I heard u need ur ham lisence. Are we talking about the same lisence here for both or separate. Some one told me the fcc give me a personal frequency when getting my gmrs lisence but don't ham radios and gmrs radios run the same way
another great show, thanks
thanks!
Techs can talk on the 10 meter. Sure it's small but I cut my teeth on the 10 meter with my tech license. You're not stuck with VHF with the tech license and 10 is beginning to open now. Also i'll add, I bought the 7300 and that was very helpful to be able to see the signals. One of the best purchases i've made in life!!
My solution to the water/food issue while hiking most of the time is to carry little water because it's so heavy and a convenient water filter like the katadyn vario which is a little on the heavy side but nothing compared to extra water. Then have a collapsible bag like a camel back that you can fill if you're not going to be away from water for awhile like if you're going to summit or something. I also stopped using camel backs most of the time and use bottles now. So much more convenient to me. I do have a couple different systems for water filtration though.
THANKS for all the videos. Just passed all 3 license exams Friday. 73. AE0BT
WOW! Congrats!
👏👏👏👏
working on the General ,...
passed the last three practice tests...score is going uP!!!
Cool! Keep it up!
Thanks for posting these. Thinking of getting my general license, but I am a bit intimidated by all the options and equipment costs. Videos like this are helping me get a feel for my options though.
Great stream, can't wait to get on the HF airwaves once I upgrade to general.
You can get on 10 meters now. My longest contact as of today is Hungary on 20 watts! Almost 5,000 miles away! 73 KD9ZMK
The range of freq is 28.300-28.500 Mhz.
@@travisbakeriii3053 Thanks Travis, I ended up upgrading to extra not long after that comment and have been having lots of fun on HF and also 10 meters.
Lol. I didn't realize how long it had been until I wrote it.
I just noticed my neighbor has two huge telescoping antennas in his back yard. Triangular base frames. I had a news van antenna that was stolen, now I wish I had it. It was a tri-pole air powered pole that I used for everything but an antenna.
38:00 put your fingers on that knobb and feel it case in point the knobb on the icom 7300 is buttery smothe"
me as a scot laughing because knobb in scotland means something a bit rougue
passed my Technician over the weekend!
Congrats!
I am taking my Lvl. 1 on Saturday , having beat that horse to death studying and practice tests , moving on to study Lvl. 2 . I have a second testing session scheduled for August 10 , maybe I pass lvl 1 & 2 this Saturday , leaving only Lvl. 3 Extra for August 10 . Or , if I do not pass level 2 this Saturday then August 10. , Either way , zero anxiety about having that second chance at Lvl 2. Yes I am driven and will achieve lvl 3 Extra , if takes a few times then so be it .
Just started watching your channel. Definitely interested in Ham radio. I am completely a noobie. Should I work toward a tech license first or go to the general license? I have been watching your videos and definitely enjoy the content. Thanks
Passed the teck licence 33 right now off to the general peace Bryan
Very informative video! Wish you were making these ham radio videos back when I upgraded to general. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
I found you on RUclips, and my friend said he's been following you for years. I just ordered the book on ebay for $40. Better deal than Amazon. And I plan on using your videos to get my license! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching!
I'm getting 90+% on technician practice test so since I have the ability to do next test after I am working for getting both technician and general same time
Its general time! 3rd wednesday in January is the goal. Ill be back on Spark wednesday morning. Ill call out and see if you are around
How'd you do?
Regarding the noise/freq's in the beginning, when I first got my ticket in '14 I got on to the SETI site. They had/have a link where you can monitor incoming celestial sounds listening for abnormalities.
After a couple days, I figured it was just white noise on a loop and listeners were just being punk'd. Disheartening as I wanted to take that side of freq's and radio serious.
I would like it if you did a general video series like you did got technician. You helped me pass that and now I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade.
I will eventually. When I have time.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse crazy amount of work for you and I for one definitely appreciate all you do for the HAM community!
haha me "is this the ISS?? is the earth round or flat, dont lie"
It’s round 👍
HI Josh. Don't have my license yet. Covid shut the test down. But got a bfang and was able to hear the iss. Blew my roommates away. They. Are always wondering what the heck i am up to. Oh and we were able to see the iss go overhead...
It’s so overwhelming to watch an entire hour long videos just to get into this stuff. I wish these weren’t live streams so there wasn’t so many distractions I know next to nothing about ham radios and I’m just trying to learn..
I put out shorter videos every week too.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse yes but your playlist includes the live streams and it can be hard to tell at a glance what is a live stream and what is not..
Saving up. Figured my first HF should be a icom 7300
You can't really go wrong with the 7300!
I am subscribed to your channel and I trust you, so which is the best antenna for a Baofeng UV-82HP?
I know the factory ones are not very good.
I have already ordered 2 radios and I have connected to a local AR group for getting my technician license.
Thanks!
Any of the antennas on my Amazon store or great performers. Its up to you on the length you want. Remember, longer antennas perform better. www.amazon.com/shop/hoshnasi
@@HamRadioCrashCourse Amazon says that 'this influencers shop is not available' or something along those lines. Any work arounds?
Good show sub par instruction. I want to like this guy and his channel but I’m trying to learn and so far...45 minutes in and he’s all over the place...teaches some radio, plays with radio, talk to chat room etc...seems like a really awesome guy though. I’m going to watch all of his other videos in hopes of gaining HAM knowledge but I don’t think he can help me become a General.
I’ve read the whole second book for General after passing Tech.
I understand it all besides the “log” equations.
I’m going to have to cheat on those parts. I don’t get the LOG stuff what so ever. All the rest of it makes sense.
Ya know, I love these videos .. I really do. Thank you for doing them. But I gotta tell you - the back and forth between the study material and the chat makes me absolutely nuts. It's so distracting. I find that I can't follow this format at all.
42 minutes in & im lost...between chat & studing material...😴...put to sleep..but love ur Videos and will continue to watch & support! 73
I wish more people would be exposed to the aha moment of "bouncing against the ionosphere." The elegance!
Yes! So far hit Hungary today as my farthest. Almost 5,000 miles.
The ARRL 2019 shows unavailable. What will be the expected cost of these books when they become available?
The Gordon west book is out now. Link is in the amazon store in description.
Book is probably $30?
Thanks!
Welcome!
Really appreciate the support!
Hi, I am looking to take the HAREC exam but I have a dilema, I currently live in Spain and my Spanish language skills are not that great... I was wondering if I can take the HAREC exam online with a Spanish translator sat next to me or if I can take it in English through one of the Irish test centres even though I live in Spain. Would appreciate any help on this subject.
Are the tests for Technician and General conducted online or in person?
Can you please leave a link for the morse code gadget? tia
Where is the link to the book you are talking about? What is this book? I am not hearing much about getting the license. 13 mins in I am out for now. Maybe later.
Do you have a basic how to use a vfh/ufh radio?
Will Quantum Computer circuit radios be made (0, between 0 and 1 and 1)?
If you get upset and let them know about it (malicious, deliberate interference) ... it just encourages the behavior. Like in life. People who like to get a rise out of people live for getting a rise out of people.
How is listens to a bunch of noise on your ham radio going to help me pass the general license
I'm interested in the range.....
I know the question pool will change later this year. I still want to make the hop to general.
I don't know if the huge gap between licensed operators vs the people that transmit will ever be met. I have my Teck for about 1 year now and came from analog and digital scanner listening for years and analog UHF VHF has been flat for about 15 years.
Cool, do you think you'll upgrade to general?
I am studying for the General now.
Good for you! Keep going.
Can one go directly to the General Class License without doing the Technician class first?
No. Must do technician first.
Toys are NOT just for boys! Cara :)
Is that the astronaut ISS or the beheading ISS?
Ok so ham radio lisence and gmrs lisence are they separate lisence. So is it motorolla cp200 gmrs and baofeng ham radios? They both work the same way
Separate license
@@HamRadioCrashCourse so what is the difference n if i get my ham license i can use my motorolaas as ham radios with repeaters can i ? Or whats is the issue
With ham radio. The person gets licensed. The ham license allow us to transmit on just about anything, so long as we’re doing it in the ham frequencies. For other systems like gmrs and frs. You have to use accepted radios for that system.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse so what are the ham frequencies and gmrs frequencies allowed ? I have 3 cp200 motorolla VHF 134-174 frequency and also 3 cp200 motorolla UHF 434-469 frequencies . And how do you know if the radios are ham or gmrs frequencies
I have been thinking of getting licensed, but I've been listening to the 2 meter band, 70 cm band, GMRS and others and I hear nothing. Very little chit chat. Only the air bands are active. Even CB is dead around here.
Same. I have my tech but repeaters are so dead anymore. Which surprises me because i live right next to the villages Florida retirement capital of the United states so one would think lots of retired older guys into ham and talking on the repeaters but nope. Rarely. Shame
I listen to 2 meters in ATLANTA unfortunately I only have a HT/5 Watts. I’d like to upgrade to General but I can’t really afford an HF rig at the moment. I agree, 2 meters/70CM is dead, a lot of people are on D-star:
Hey .... what labs? what do you do? IoT developer?
Sssssh I’m a professional nerd.
hi rose from south carolina
You & W6LG are calendared til Oct. 1.
Wut?
Hi i'm new. ft8 sounds like the old dial up modems.
also where is the frequently mentioned amazon link?
Hey guy!
how do i get on your streaming?
Turn on the notification bell and come back Friday at 7:00 pm pst.
how many milliwatts is QRP transmitter?
5 watts is traditional qrp
I have the Icom 7300
Nice. I love it!
What’s the difference between general and technician license?
Band access privileges on the hf frequencies.
Could you go straight for your general instead of going through the rest of the steps?
Nope, you must go in order.
How do you know this is the ISS?
I saw it with my telescope
Da Da, Da Daaaa! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I'm trying to think of what cartoon character you remind me of.
An insanely dialed back Yosemite sam or jonny bravo
Where is Jerry?!!
Used your Technician videos and passed first time on July 27, 2023 KQ4KFL wish. your General videos were similar and not so much talking 😢
The general pool recently updated. You don’t want to use the older video. Also, cut me some slack I have a career and family. This isn’t my prime time gig, I do it for fun and to help out ham radio.
Please fix the typo in this title brother. It’s driving me nuts!!!!
Too much info without definition s
No children or animals were killed in the making of this video.
Josh -- I love most of your content. Your equipment reviews and how-to videos are among the best I've seen. But, man... If you're gonna teach, teach. If you're gonna rag chew on a live stream, then do that. Don't try to teach while conducting a two hour rag chew. Focus, please. I stopped watching after 31 minutes because there was so little content and so much random detritus. Go back and watch the first half hour, and note how much content you actually cover.
Should have kept watching. IMO
Maybe I missing the points. This video is to get your general license (crash course). Into about 30 minutes and it is a random floating lesson with congrats on donations. I'd like to pass the test, with more specific information to do so.
All of my training videos were recorded live with live comments. Like a ham cram. If that doesn't work for you there are many other options available to learn the content. I also like Hamstudy.org and the test applications from the ARRL.
Freaking nerds. I just bought a radio.
Nerds indeed, sir.
Can't do it man. Appreciate the effort, but if it's a chat have it be a chat. If it's a course, have it be a course. I'm out.
Bye bye.
class: start around minute 10 and skip all the BS
Totally lost....... Watched the entire video
It's like you're speaking a foreign language...... I already have my technician's license......... I haven't even got the ham radio nomenclature down
Shhhh keep your voices down guys
Please stop wasting my time on BS. I want to learn how to pass the General test
Everytime I start to watch one of your videos, you seem more interested in your fan base than actually getting to the point. Sorry buddy, I can't watch your videos. I would like to learn something from your videos, but if you can't get to the point in the first 5 seconds, you are a waste of my time.
Ok buddy. 👍 see ya.
I'm trying to listen to this but you waste an awful lot of time in instruction. I'm here to learn, not waste time.
If you dont have the patience to watch an hour video, then you'll never get it. Plenty of info in the video but hey go read the book if u feel its better🤷🏼♂️
I'm done. I'll go back to books instead of listening to you just chatter. An instructional course is supposed t0o educate. If you need a proper instructor call me.
Geez man. Feel free to pick up a camera and do it.
