This is awesome if you're just getting started studying for your Technician license or if you're experienced too! Keep up the good work!

Good stuff! I felt for you dealing with the kiddos. Just glad your bride is doing better. This is a great talk/discussion.

I'd just like to remind anyone watching, if you have an ARRL exam study book, it's glossary is a very good place to look concerning a lot of the common terms used. Not trying to discredit Josh's video, he did an amazing job! Just a reminder about it. If you don't have an ARRL exam book, I'd reccomend getting one for your next level of license, (aswell as watching Josh's videos) they are very helpful!

Great video! Any chance you could do a… uh… deeper dive on the MUF?

Thanks for taking the time to re-edit Josh. Always the pro

That thumbnail looked almost like you were having some extra fun in the video lol

...and I thought my years in Government service was heavy with acronyms! Ham radio is crazy with them!!!

Keep the videos coming! Great info!

Thanks! Will do!

KE8PMM, MEL, CLEVELAND Good Stuff!!

I don't know how many more TLA's I can fit in my head. (Three Letter Acronym)

Regarding increasing frequency bands - well before you get to ionizing radiation comes visible light.

First! Josh always has so much information!

BNC originated with the British Navy and was known as the British Naval Connector, it was and in some cases is used in the networking world.

I love this channel!

I couldn't figure out why I was less than happy about these sorts of videos. But I think it comes down to the fact that these questions would be answered on the radio which is what the hobby is spending time listening to the radio taking the time to get into chats on the radio finding them in context or just asking somebody and starting a conversation takes care of it all and I'm not against digital modes the way that it seems to be amongst ham radio people but I would point to the fact that if alls you ever do is exchange call and signal then you'll never have a conversation on the radio which is your hobby in order to know the answers to these questions that would be the part of KZread by the way which I love but unfortunately that is detracting from the hobby

It may be detracting from your opinion of what the hobby is, but that’s just it, an opinion. I’ll respectfully disagree.

Josh, is this PowerPoint available to share?

I have a Wouxun radio that is programed with the Wouxun software and I use the radio for public safety and I recently bought a Baofeng radio to replace that radio but I don't know how to convert from the Wouxun software to the Chirp software to program the radio. Do you have any advice on how to do that?

#TeamReplay for the win!

Hey man, I just started on your channel and looking into ham and was wondering(I haven’t been able to see a set answer) do I have to take a course to get my license or just study and pass the test? Thanks for your help and I’ll be watching parts 3 and 4 of your tech license series soon!

You only need to pass the test. If you know all the answers already, you don’t even need to study. 🤣

@@HamRadioCrashCourse funnily enough! When you were going through the practice test on part 2 of your get your technician license I was able to answer most of the questions from the electronics section cause of my time in the navy as an aviation electronics tech even though I hadn’t thought about those things in almost 10 years lol.

Right to the meat eh all do respect you just spent the first minute explaining how you had to edit a video on KZread . Other than that nice work keep up the videos !

This is was a recorded live stream. It’s a show, not a short form KZread video. Feel free to jump forward.

The confusion over TNC came from it being an antenna connector.

Isn't 1.8 Mhz-2.0 mhz = 160m?

Thanks for bringing this up, Comrade Prepper. I'm sure many of us old hams heard him mention that 160 meters is within the 3 MHz space just winced when we heard that. But, nobody's perfect. I'm confident that most hams will catch this very small error and just shrug it off. de NN5O

7:00 how are any of these acronyms ? These are abbreviations. An acronym is a very specific type of abbreviation that is typically pronounced as a word... like "AIDS"... "OPEC"... "RADAR"... "NASA", all acronyms. Unless you pronounce CTCS as "CUTCUS", it's simply an abbreviation, not an acronym.

You didnt explain NB/NF on first page of HF acronyms? Just kinda skipped over them. Also CAT.

"HT" Does not stand for "handy-talkie"..... It stands for "Hand-held Transceiver" I so wish people would stop saying and pushing that silly CB sounding incorrect term.
