- This is a video on Ham Radio Jargon to help you understand ham radio lingo that you will be hearing and reading about if you are trying to get your license. This is my opinion and there may be things you find inaccurate thats OK because I don't claim to be a expert on anything hence the name "Jack Of All Trades Master Of None"!!! I'm also sorry about the Frog in my throat should have got some water!
Thanks :) I am a writer and have two characters using ham radios, and I am doing research. Appreciate you sharing.
Hey did you ever finish this?
For CQ say it slowly as, "seek you" means you are looking for anyone to talk to and CQDX means you are seeking a distant station or distant X with X standing for transmitter.
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful and you seem to be a natural teacher. I have poked around for helpful clips on HAM and have settled on yours. I appreciate it.
WOW. A BUNCH OF JERKS YOU ALL ARE FOR
giving the guy a hard time about clearing his throat. So he has a nervous tick. I will be all of you have one.... oh, I see... you make yourself feel big by picking on someone long distance... real smooooooth.....
I for one did not even realize it until I read some of the jerk's comments. Keep it up, brother I for one appreciate your video. Thanks. I just passed my technician's exam this weekend so I thank you for the terms and definitions.
KK4YDH here. on feb 10th 2014 i became a license technicain. your videos helped and inspired me. just wanna say thanku for the awsome vids.73s
Thanks for the vids. You're the only one I watched that I could follow along with. I watched some other beginning ham vids that didn't make sense to me.
That throat tho
Thanks for this lesson. Feb. 2021
Thats funny not coughing though clearing my throat and its because I needed to slow down or just swallow my spit. I found taking a drink really helps when I'm trying to jam in as much info as I can as fast as possible. Thanks for taking your time to watch and comment 73!
"Elmer, this is not a glue"
"Ham, Kosher people can still be hams"
Lots of fun can be had with our various terms
DTMF, CTCSS, DCS, all different DTMF mainly used to access Auto patch, links, weather reports,dialing a #, bulletins etc by pressing a sequence of #'s on your tone pad,old school phone touch tones if you will, CTCSS encode mainly used for repeater access or access of someone else s coded squelch. CTCSS decode the code set on the receiving end if you wanna mute your squelch and only hear certain radio's with specific encoded tone. DCS somewhat simiar takes a more modern version of coding Motorola invented this also called private line, GE had a version also know as DCG digital channel Guard.
I knew there were 5 states with laws prohibiting one from being able to receive police frequencies in their vehicle, but I did not know that having an amateur radio license over road that. Another reason to finish studying and getting my license!
Nice videos!!!! Very informative
i like you man ( god blass you all time ) brother

iam from saudia arabia
I hear CQ on 2m and 70cm all the time. Especially on repeaters.
fantastic job
**grunt**
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the info
Jack of all trades... Thanks for breaking this down. I really have become more interested in learning Ham after watching your video's. I'm currently in the military and looking to acquire a new skill. This seems to be a good fit. your first film had me hooked. Thanks again.
Awesome job. Thanks for the info!
You have a lot of vocabulary words...learning a lot...I am SO NEW...I don't know what is meant by the terminology " REPEATER ". I hear that often...and yes...I don't know what it means. I know a lot bout guitars, cooking , and medicine...but hope to learn about this subject to get my license some day.
Great video thankyou. Very informative. Of coarse most of it we would know as Amateurs but its easy to forget and always great to have reminders and updates such as this. I appreciate your effort :)
Excellent video.
Thank you Sir, for presenting this video. Very informative presentation.

Great video, but please someone get this guy a glass of water! 💦🤣
Can the jargon of HAM Radio be simplified to Six colors
I think you mean make a video on 20 meters? maybe a video on each band? I'm always looking for idea's from my viewers. Thanks again! 73
Good stuff. Just got my ticket but don't have any equipment yet. I'll check out EchoLink. anything like that for a Mac?
Isn't Hi Hi used for morse, though?
So was wondering if you are either supplying the 442.8 or 444.35 repeaters. Maybe I can reach ya next time I'm going to fireworks city in Baldwin or visit my buddy other in river falls

Can you help please, I want to listen to a frequency (454.300 - call it Frequency A) which is approx 7 miles away in SE direction, however another organization is using the same frequency about 1.5 miles away in NE direction (call it frequency B).
Is it possible to pick-up frequency A, using maybe a local repeater near frequency A or maybe using a better rig or larger antenna? At the moment i have a GT-3.
Thank you.

My experience with the HAM radio community has been unpleasant, mostly filled with egotistical jerks that think they own the channel and are oddly stuck on their license numbers as they seem to think it gives them some sort of power grab when they announce their call numbers and want to prod and slander anyone that "trespasses" on their territory. The ones I talked to were mainly jerks and killed my desire to try and dig further into HAM. I'm sure there are some decent operators out there but they are few and far between and yes, I have a license.
Mark McCarrell um there are only a few lids out there the rest of us are very nice people don't let a few bad experiences discourage you,
I found SSB to be much better, myself, as far as the people go.
Good vids. Learned a lot.
I'm new thank you so much great job.
I have a question for you...I have looked on the internet and have never found the answer. In these days of identity theft and security concerns...it has always bothered me that you can just look up a persons call sign and see their home address. The only advice I had ever gotten was to set up a PO Box address for use with the FCC. I am not going to those lengths. Any thoughts on this subject?
Per the "rules" § 97.23 Mailing address.
Each license grant must show the grantee's correct name and mailing address. The mailing address must be in an area where the amateur service is regulated by the FCC and where the grantee can receive mail delivery by the United States Postal Service. Revocation of the station license or suspension of the operator license may result when correspondence from the FCC is returned as undeliverable because the grantee failed to provide the correct mailing address.
[63 FR 68979, Dec. 14, 1998]
Simply put, you have to have a place where the FCC can contact you by mail, if your mail is "returned to sender" they could pull you ticket. If you do not want your home address, or pay for a PO Box, you could use your place of employment or any place you can receive mail. (Sorry if this took so long, I just found it) KCØKM
Tyler I'm not sure what you mean by "supplying" the repeaters? but I can use those repeaters. Can get on the 85 system?
excellent
Great video thank you
Great video! Thanks from a new HAM. 73. KM4UQU
Go ahead 6K2AVL this is KC9TJV! Keep a eye on my channel you will see a lot of different video's coming soon. Thanks for watching and taking your time to comment. 73!
Good luck on your up coming test and you will find a Elmer trust me there is a lot of Hams that like to help out. Ask around at your test you will meet hams there for sure and find your local Ham feasts thats a other good place to meet hams. 73! good luck
Thanks for the vids, a fellow Z showed me you channel. Helped me pass!
Bro, were you ever able to finally clear your throat?
Do you have a facebook page?
If you are using the term "2 metres", why don't you also use the term "70 centimeters"? Or use "144" and "440" instead of mixing it.
new to this, what does 2 meter mean
2 meter is term for the range of frequencies that fall into an approximate 2 meter wavelength. www.arrl.org/graphical-frequency-allocations shows which frequencies fall into which band.
Two meters is 6 feet, the length of the wave.
Tony Daniels 2 meters is about 6' 6" it's the length of the radio wave at 144 thru 148 MHz. The antenna dimensions are determined by this measurement. David Byrd KN4BHS
Tony Daniels radio band from 130 megahertz to about 150 megahertz

Why say HI HI on phone? Just laugh. As a Elmer It get me mad when I hear HI HI on phone.. HI HI is a cw term. As a tech you only have phone or (voice) on 28.3 to 28.5mhz. On the other bands it is cw. Hf is 1.8 mhz to 30 mhz or better know as 160 meter. 75/80, 40, 30 cw only. 20,17, 15, 12, and 10 meters.
Amen on the 'hi hi' thing! Still a good video though
You cleared your throat 28 times and sniffed 4 times..
I already knew most of this and needed to kill some time...
Sorry...
A lot of Hams are from CB and that jargon has crept into the hobby and that is a shame. It should be normal speech unless your in a contest as it will confuse a new operator.
Brother. Not buddy other. I hate android
O gosh, enough with the throat clearing. So loud and annoying.
Great video
