I just took my extra test tonite and passed. All just watching these videos and taking practice tests. Thanks for these videos and thanks to the radio club for allowing you to record. They did a great job. I recommend these to everyone
Jason, I watched your Tech, General, and Extra classes, ran through hours of practice exams, and passed all three elements last Saturday. The presenters @ the North Richland Hills Amateur Radio Club were instrumental in my journey. Thank you for hosting the classes! KY4TE
I'll use your videos to make a few Extra upgrades for the Ogden Amateur Radio Club in Utah. Celebrating 101 years now! Thanks for making these videos, you've saved me a ton of time.
I just passed my General test 4 days ago. I suppose it's as good a time as any to start on my Extra upgrade. Thanks for the study material! -N7JSX (OARC member)
Thanks for uploading this. Even though the presenters made comments besides the actual questions, it did help me understand some of the concepts better. Looking forward to rest! 73
I found your videos and passed the Technician, General and the Amateur Extra tests in the last month (the AE a few hours ago). Thank you and the North Richland Hills Amateur Radio Club for making it ridiculously easy and also giving the majority of the questions some context. Yes, the videos can be listened to at 2x speed, but some of the instructions made the concepts and answers stick in my mind. Thank you! Currently KK7HOL.
Thanks for sharing these videos. The amount of information that I have absorbed from your channel is immeasurable and greatly appreciated. I passed my general exam last night. Now on to Extra.
Hey there Jason, once again I'm late to the dance. I just came across this on August 9 2021 LOL. I passed my Extra yesterday August 8 2021. Just like the General Class Videos last year was being live streamed after I passed my General. You guys do awesome work to help keep our Amateur Radio Service and Amateur Radio hobby Alive. 73 from Ken, KF0AUT.
I passed my Technician 35/35 on 5/11 and my General on 6/9 34/35. I feel that Extra at this point would do nothing for me but benefit me. Why not go the extra mile? (Pun may or may not be intended). I'll be studying as closely as I can over the next few months (gonna take my time, there's no rush.) I'm glad I found your channel, found my way here from Notarubicon and HRCC.
I'm a General but I've never attended a course. Since the Extra is quite a bit more technical than the other two, I thought a course might be the better route... but are they all just folks reading the questions and answers rather than actual teaching?
@@FranktheDachshund Seriously, even on 1.5x speed its still too slow! I prefer the ARRL books. Those and practice tests. But I guess, everyone learns differently.
I tried to watch this a few times but it was just too slow and I was like, why am I learning about slow scan TV? However, I was sick in bed on Sunday, watched a bunch of these videos (at 1.5-2x) and actually got to really like these guys. Anyway, started them on Sunday and then passed the extra exam today (Friday). Thanks for this!
This was a great video as the extra (no pun) explanations really lock in the knowledge as there is so much to learn with this license and the hobby for that matter. It is also a great additional learning source as I suspect the other four videos that I will be watching in this series will help me to level up with my knowledge. I used these same types of videos for both my Technician and General exams as they seriously supported what I was learning and provided knowledge from another angle. Thank
Around @1:15:30 the presenter is talking about the electric vs magnetic emissions from the dipole and he talks about the "red line" representing the magnetic field. The line is actually green... probably red-green color blindness like many males. Just wanted to point out the mistake so people aren't confused.
In my opinion running through HamStudy questions and answers is much more productive than watching this but still a good video if you want some explanation
Different people learn in different ways. I don't think there is anything wrong with any of the options that are out there, just as long as you use one of them to get your license or upgrade.
HamStudy is how our local club recommends everyone "study" for their licenses..My husband loved Ham Test Online. For me, these videos along with the question and answer pool from ARRL...Thank goodness there are so many options!
Can a person just test for extra, or do you have to start out at the bottom and work your way up? My Technician license expired about 10 years ago and I'd rather skip the technician and general levels altogether. Or will I need to take all three tests at the same time to do it on one test session?
You have to start again, I believe. I think there is a 2-year grace period, but you are over that. It is possible that you will just test for the Tech, and they will restore your Extra - I can't recall the details of that part.
Just got my general a few weeks ago, and now I am looking at extra. Is there a recommended manual that goes along with this set of classes like there was with the tech and general classes? Just wondering as it seems like they randomly selected what information to go over. Lol! Thanks! 73. Shawn, KO4THA.
I really appreciate the time and effort the club put in to hosting this but the material is hard enough without having to deal with all of the ad lib. Have KD5HIY do it. Even if he doesn't have his extra he was the best presenter of the three. I had to stop watching.
Speed the video up to 1.5x. You're welcome.
Agreed. The content is awesome but this guy is putting me to sleep hes so slooooooooow.
@@Brian-WR1W Painfully slow. Vid cold be 1/3 shorter!

This video was just painful my lord
I was gonna comment the same thing, but I see it's been taken care of.

Right? I am five minutes in and we have covered 1 question, It is going to be a long program.

I suspect they will drop requirements for this knowledge in the future, but I'm happy to learn it before it's too late.

@@HamRadio2 Very true, whichever way works best is the way you should go
Memorizing answers to regurgitate on the test and forget gets your ticket, but doesn't help you learn anything.

Thank you!
Good info, but I had a hard time following the instructor. Pretty rough. Nonetheless, I appreciate the content.
i passed but I have to continue to study because I am not an know it all, in fact I dont know much
Are the rest of the sessions posted somewhere and I can't find them ? I found 4 two hour chunks . Thanks for all the great content Jason
Part 5 was posted a few days ago. I am working on the remaining parts, each one is about 2 hours, so it takes some editing time.
Thanks for the reply .. I test on Saturday 🤞I'll have to grind
Will watching these videos give me enough information to pass my extra class or do I need to buy something
Can anyone recommend other YT videos on this subject?

On your slide at 2:20 , is that 1959? or 1969?
quick question, do you have to be level 1 to get to level 2 to get to level three, or do you just study for the test and get anyone that suits you?
You have to get 1, then 2, then 3.
@@HamRadio2 Thx!

Never mind. Completely glossed over it when I looked through the description the first time. Got it now.
Yep, ARRL makes them for all three and publishes A LOT of other very useful and popular books.
I have been an advance for so long I figured I am a dying breed
Which book are you guys using here? Thanks -N7JSX
Are the rest of the classes coming?
Part 2 will post Thursday
When you getting your extra ticket, Jason?
I have a plan
Where do we get them hats?
OMG!
Takes way too long. He should be reading from a teleprompter instead of thinking about his answer. Just sayin'.
Uh, uh, uh....
I think this old man should retire
Ugggh
Thanks fellas. These assisted me passing my extra. AD9DO
Glad to help
Thanks Jason de KI5CWY

I have to agree with the above sentiment.
It it tough to listen to indeed. My head works too quickly for the “ambling banter”.
Thanks!
