Everybody in the radio community knows Josh.
He is required viewing for the new folks
Honestly, im a ham and I don't know who he is. Ive never seen his channel, I don't use ham a lot, I have a license but hams are fudds, thats their life and they don't think outside the box.
@rangerjay7971 that isn't at all the case these days. If you seek the fudds out, you'll definitely find plenty. But there are absolutely plenty of people putting content out that are more like minded with his community.
Also, there are valuable lessons to be learned from the fudds, even. Like Josh said, radio is a science. Those that have made it their life should definitely know a thing or two. Just like all with all of the fudd preparedness channels, find content that is bearable, pick out the useful information, and disregard the fuddlore if need be.
Heck yeah... 💯🎸🎙🎵🎧🤘
@@rangerjay7971 I guess you know us all to be able to say that. I got your fudd hangin'
I’ve been watching a lot of NotaRubicon because I like how he makes fun of licensed operators.
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!
At minimum an extra medium sized deal!
Defiantly for the younger crowd. He's helping bring in a new generation.
As opposed to that dbag Randy.
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.
As I progress in the hobby it’s funny how callsigns become names to me and I remember them so easily lol
I mean, if I hear Josh come up on my local repeater, I’m gonna be pretty stoked.
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.
Thats awesome!
My son got his license when he was 12. I’ve been licensed for 6 years now and so has my wife. It’s best to get the whole family into it. Makes life easier
@@Devildog-lt7ne
They are similar but different. You can pay a gmrs license and that license is good for your whole family and will give you the ability to communicate on frequencies that are in channel form on a gmrs radio.
A ham radio license is only good for individual who took and passed the Technician License test. There are 3 levels of ham radio licenses. The technician license, General License and Amateur Extra. Each license will give you a bigger pie of the pie to communicate on. I recommend watching lots of RUclips to learn the different benefits of both and seeing which license will work for you. Personally I don’t have a GMRS license. I went straight to ham because it works out better for me and for our family since we are all licensed ham radio operators. HRCC on RUclips Ham Radio Crash Course is a great place to start.
Gotta love Josh clipping into the chandelier and getting recognized by some random on a repeater. Legend.
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. 😂
"He knows who you are!"
Mike, your face was priceless, you are hanging out with every new ham's Elmer
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.
congratulations....outstanding score!
Nice man. Where do you live? KN6AVR
@@thinmizzy365 , Cape Cod, MA KC1TZC
NICE! No get out there and talk with seniors about their radios!
Strong work!
Two of my favorites subjects experts in one video. Keep up the good work guys.
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.
Josh's videos helped me pass the Technician exam in 2021! Love his channel!
Same here!
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!
S2 underground, thank me later
@@jakep5121I’ve heard the name before, will have to look into the channel!
Looking back on a lot of my interests, I feel like the Modern Rogue was my bridge into a lot of it.
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.
Great to see both of you together. You should have Josh on showing a JS8Call net for emergencies.
Absolutely!
It's JS8 weekend!!!
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.
Yeah seems that a lot of the Vol FF in maine seem to pretty handy with hams and other gear as well. I’m looking into both seeing as there’s more Vol than active FF up here
Hell yeah. I was a FO also. I’m just getting back into radios
@@3rdCoastYaker 👊
Josh is a great resource for radio comms. You guys are lucky to have him.
We met JOSH at the Hamfest in Alabama, a few years back. He is real nice guy! He has great knowledge in the ham radio field.
Great video! That 705 is current state of the art it's not a cheap radio you can get in the hobby for much less.
True you can get into the hobby for much less like a $30 Boafeng handheld for VHF and UHF. You can also get a Xiegu G106 for around $300 if you want an inexpensive portable HF rig. That is $330 without including antennas, and external power if you get a Baofeng HT and the Xiegu QRP radio. However the for the person who wants HF, VHF, and UHF all in a small, portable package it appears the Icom 705 is the way to go. Only one radio and it has all the bands widely used in amateur radio. Just toss it in your pack with the roll up j-pole for VHF/UHF, some wire for HF, and whatever accessories you want to keep it charged and/or supply power. Sure you can get an Icom 7100 or a Yaesu 991 and have more power, but looking at it with a preparedness mindset where you might have to grab your gear and go, it won't be easy to pack those up and go. The 7100 will be easier to use for a mobile install than the 991 because of the remote head, but if you have to leave the vehicle behind it will still be harder to toss in a pack and carry than the 705 would be.
It’s cool to see some validation by the SF set for HAM. I recently got into it. It’s so effing nerdy, but when you look at it so important to include for SHTF preparedness. You can’t really separate out that geek. It’s like learning ballistics. To pass the technician test just imagine answering questions about how many inches 5.56 drops at 200 yards from a 16” barrel and what effect relative humidity would have.
honestly the technician test isn't even that hard, and if you need help passing tons of people are willing to help teach you basic wave theory and ohms law
@@greencanner4284 That's because there are only 67 questions and it's easy to memorize the right answers. The theory gets into the weeds a bit, but yeah, it's all good stuff to know. And I am a big believer in acquiring more knowledge at every opportunity. Frankly though, some hams come off like getting your license is the same thing as an engineering degree. Not all, but some. People who use information and knowledge as an ego contest should be censored by those in the community who uphold the values of teaching others and promoting an interest in amateur radio.
Two of my favorite people!
I love your channel. Always relevant and informative.
The music in the beginning makes the beautiful moment feel like you found hope
Thank you for this!
These HAM videos always reinvigorate my interest in the topic!
I saw one of Josh's videos months ago, then not long after the AT&T outage at the end of last month I saw him do a POTA in a video. I had an old Technician license that's been renewed over the last 30 years but not used since I first got it. So I took my General and Extra license and passed both, getting my Amateur Extra license this week, between working a bunch of shifts. Now I own multiple handhelds and diving in on what I may want to have for any emergency situation with loss of routine comms. I even got my father a radio so he can dust off the rust on his 30 year old Technician license. Love seeing the J-POLE antenna, I was thinking of getting something like that for my condo/HOA home, putting it up in the attic, and now may want two, one for home and one for a pack that I'd keep in my vehicle. EXCELLENT VIDEO! Likes and Subbed. I've been enjoying Josh's content frequently lately including his HRCC podcast on Spotify with Leah. THANK YOU! Pretty cool that someone on the air recognized his voice and call sign so quickly. Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy Easter! 73, N3TBJ, Dr. Steve
Thank you Mike & Josh. Really cool and fun video.
That guy recognized Josh's voice. His voice is distinctive. Very cool. Some good basic radio stuff in this video.
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.
Great video! Everyone needs to understand Emergency Communications. So much knowledge to keep us prepared.
Josh’s videos and Mike’s convo with him the first time a few years back got me interested in HAM. Listen to Josh’s exam prep and used HAM study and I am now a tech holder. Honestly every one in the G[_]/\/$ and gear world should be getting their license to start practicing with this.
Look forward to seeing you guys this weekend.
Two great operators. Great to see this collaboration.
Super helpful as always!
Great video - love both channels and recently got my HAM license.
CQ..Mike.! This is a great vid, full of information & compulsories. More of this kind of vid mate. It helps folks in the outback. Cheers from Australia.
EXCELLENT info guys. thank you!
Awesome seening Josh on ur channel this guy is a wealth of knowledge
Mike, thank you for slowing Josh down to my speed. Usually, i cant follow him
Excellent topic Mike & thanks for sharing. Josh definitely rocks & good stuff for emergencies to stay prepared 👊
This video popped up as a suggested video for me. When I saw the thumbnail and the title I knew why. I agree that radio communication is a tool for preparedness. You have to know your equipment's capabilities just like anything else. For those looking into implementing radio communication you should develop a communications plan and practice it on a regular basis. You can't just turn on the radio and expect it to work even if it is for one of the channelized services.
I learn something new every time from the ham community.
Thanks for the info!
Love and follow both those guys!! OG
A big thank you to Josh for providing his awesome tutorials for obtaining your ham radio license.
With his excellent videos, I was able to pass the Technician class test and only missed 2 questions.
73
What are the odds, 2 of my favorite tubers, @fieldcraftsurvival and @hamradiocrashcourse crossing paths and sharing great coms intel. BravoZulu gents!
I love this dude he got me into radios ✌️
This is exactly what I needed. I am going to get it done! Josh is the man.
Also, take a look into SDR - software-defined radios. They have some interesting capacities, too.
Got to be one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. 2 experts in their fields collaborating and non scripted with someone on the radio recognizing Josh’s voice! Just awesome! Doesn’t get any better than that! 🔥🔥🔥 And what’s even crazier is that I was just talking to my wife last night about getting radio comms set up in our preparedness. I have my ham technician license but I want GMRS as well. I think Mike Glover was listening to me in my truck! 😂😂😂
Do it, gmrs for the comms too kit is worth it. Also look into MURs
@@anduril328 I will definitely check into the MURS. Thanks!
@@mkellydixon May as well get a pair of uv-5Rs for experimentation
Fellow HAM , great video
Awesome awesome show thank you so much for the information very very helpful. Plz do more shows like this with different stuff.
Hell yeah, awesome collab
WOW!! Josh is awesome, he's helped me with my HAM questions, while studying
Hello Josh from Arizona. Love your channel.
Great stuff! I need to up my coms game and this really helps. Thanks.
This was gr8 thanks
The Bao-feng UV-5R, I urge every prepper to buy one. You can get it for $25, program it and FCC goes out the window in a SHTF situation. We call it the warlord radio, because it was so widely used in Afghanistan
I’ll look into it, thanks for the recommendation. I have a grundig & a couple of older radio shack units, but that’s about it.
@@christophermitchell7925 Same here.
Josh has covered this on his channel.
Awe yea, S2 Underground listener?
Pony up a few more dollars and buy a Japanese radio and not that Chinese crap.
Thank you so much for this. I need to learn more about comms.
Cool to see Josh on the air here in Utah. We just (last week) had our "Shake Out Utah" exercise and in the Salt Lake valley we had about a half dozen EOCs (emergency operations centers) in various cities communicating with each other directly (without repeaters) on 5W of power. This reassured us that when the big one hits, even if it takes out our repeaters, we'll still be able to communicate effectively. Tactical and strategic communication are key to survival!
Love Heber springs Arkansas. Nice scenery and pretty remote in the mountains.
Josh is great. He sparked my interest in going for my GMRS and General HAM Licenses. I was so surprised to see him on your channel.
Every Amateur Radio operator knows Josh, He's da man!😊
Dude, that beginning was super awesome :) How cool it is to be recognized like that.
I’m going to watch this 10 times.
I had an interest in HAM years ago. This video got me interested again and I just passed my Technician test this morning. I foresee a money pit of equipment purchases in my future.
Great works guys. Good to see josh in a different format 👍🏽 73
Josh is the man, glad these guys found each other, I’ve been watching his channel for a few years now
Got my Technician after listening to a podcast a few years back with Josh and Mike. Upgraded to General a few months later. I am currently studying for Extra
Ive never had an interest in HAM , but my dad is into it as a hobby. His setup blows my mind its expanded to 2 more rooms in his house and like 4 antenna in his yard the tallest being 100ft . Im seeing the potential benefits now .
That was great!
What a cool demonstration! I learned a lot from this vid.
This is fantastic
This is super educational
Great collab.
Nice to see this video, I follow both of you, from Costa Rica. That was a fun video. Really good you are making more people interested in radio. I have been a ham radio for about 36 years. Best regards, Mauricio, TI2MOT
Keep it going let’s go down the rabbit hole
So awesome
Pretty sure this is the best crossover of all time.
I lived in Heber for 4 years OMG!
This aged really well.
Agreed! It's a good thing how Mike is bringing Josh on to spread radio knowledge across audiences.
What an awesome collaboration! Never expected to see Josh on this channel. We need more content on communications like DMR and what happens when the grids go down and repeaters aren’t an option.
Josh it the best. I’m a big fan of both of your channels
Good stuff right here
Super cool by information 😊
i live in western nova scotia canada l
watch Jose's videos a lot
Solid recommendation for filming scenarios like this - Mike’s got the lav, Josh doesn’t. If you edit Josh’s separately, there’s a new Beta Premiere Pro version that has an “Enhance Dialogue” feature in the Essential Sound panel, which will match Mike’s mic significantly better. Auto levels everything and all. Just watch where they overlap. Great work guys!
Great content
Cool ya got Josh on bro. Love ya both.
HRCC Josh kicks azz and does a great job for the hobby and any fieldcraft survival person should have their ham license and understand how radio and antennas work to survive great video de W9US
Good video....loved the contact
Awesome video
Love this 👏👏
I've seen him around the internet to do with radios. He's really good at it all.
A better option than a shortwave radio, if you have a way to power it, is a laptop or tablet paired with 2 RTL-SDR's. Using free software available on the net you can scan all the way from 500kHz to 1766mHz. Such a set up will pick up everything a SW radio can but you can also listen to trunked systems, including digital, commonly used by 1st responders. It won't let you listen to encrypted transmissions though.
I love it lol. definitely going to try for ham license now.
Ameture radio is my favorite way to talk to other men.
Always wanted a Ham radio.
Cool stuff.
I like to say I got my liscense on the toilet. Becouse that's when I studied. Downloaded the study apps and just kept reading the questions.
Love this content! I would like to learn more about GMRS, or coms for the basic guy.
Great video! I love Signal Sticks. Have one on each of my 3 cheap Chinese HTs. I can hit a repeater 32 miles away from my UV-5R.
I just got my h as m tech license and actually watched some of Josh’s videos that helped me pass the tech exam.
