Which video is #4? Also, when do you get into some of the specific info that can be found on an exam? I've watched all three videos and took two practice tests to see how I would do and found about 70% of the questions have not been covered in any of the three videos.

BTW, today, 3/25/2024, there is a solar storm going on. I'm old enough to remember when we needed a license for CB radio. People used to talk about "talking skip" on CBs back in tne 80s. I'm a little confused, because many people had SSB CB radios back in the day, so you could use it without a license. MJ should have a business teaching other KZfaqrs on how-to video production. No crazy intro music, no vid of kids or pets, no off topic musings.

At 3:32 your description of HV voice bands is incorrect. 80m is 3.600-4.000 20m is 14.125-14.350 You also do not communicate that the HF band edges are not all the same in other regions. You won't find Europe at the top of 80m as they don't have privilege there. Canada is also different where we do voice compared to the USA.

I remember operating my HF radio on my SH- 2f Seasprite Helicopter over the Indian Ocean in 1988. From about 80 feet to 120 feet above the water, I could clearly get radio from Ohio, USA! It was a gas (amazingly great). It was a narrow " altitude" band.

That happened during the Day.

Water is one of the best surface to send HF waves off of. Add some nice height and you got the results most would die for. Great story!!
