If you're flying and can't carry it on the plane, send it to yourself in the mail or UPS before you head home.

Dude at 3:55 must never use his wood stove...his TV would be melted. Also looks like he skipped a few building codes with exposure to drywall so close to the pipe.

Where are the pricing details?

I love Ham Radio Prep!😍

Thank you.

Why suggest buying a dipole the cheapest antenna to build

I've been studying hard .Hopefully I will pass the technical test😮

Nice to see the small companies get showcased as well; These guys really go the extra mile for the customer. VA6TT

you can use electric fence insulator at almost any farm store

Please, turn off the background music! It is beyond me why KZfaq content creators think playing background music over the presenter's voice is somehow enhancing their videos. We came to hear you; we are not here to fight background music to hear you. The background music quickly becomes extremely annoying, distracting, and intrusive. Many folks have hearing difficulties, thus while concentrating on your dialog we must also concentrate on tuning out the music; it is very frustrating. Your background music ruins an otherwise exceptionally good presentation.

I was told (pounded into y head) get a budget radio, build a killer antenna, get out like an escape artist. I have a 5watt B-fang, with a good antenna, I can reach over 50 miles with signal strength hat makes the question whether i have a "big" radio (100 watts) or just a "giant" antenna.

705 way to expensive

Just get a G90 and be done with it

Very cool!

Ham Radio Prep should start a partnership with the Civil Air Patrol.

For grounding purposes, will copper drain pipes in a second story apartment safely work to ground an outdoor longwire for shortwave listening?

awesome 👍

Some well known politicians have interesting Radio Call Signs. For example: Joe Biden: SEN1LE Kamala Harris: DE1H1RE <---Didn't earn it.. Donald Trump: M4GA1 Barack Obama: OB0NGO Julius Caesar: VEN1V1 and RUB1C0N Genghis Khan: FM4NCHU The Callsigns on QRZ are FREE, you can take them home. I have 773 Callsigns!

How's that legislation working out for ya? You didn't believe it did ya?

I passed my Technician on June 19, 2024, on July 11, 2024, I passed my General, and NOW ... on August 3, 2024, I passed my Extra. I credit @hamradioprep with helping me achieve this goal!!! KJ0NES ~ 73 from Florida

Can i make a smaller one for an apartment balcony? New shortwave listener here in Texas, liked and subbed

You disappointed me. You started off with a non-resonent end fed wire and did not discuss the end fed half wave anywhere until the last hurrah. The EFHW is by far the easiest, quickest antenna for any newbie to get on the air with no fiddly-diddly and NO TUNER NEEDED. The feed point is next to the shack at the end of the wire, simplifying setup. Build a 49:1 transformer with a FT240-43 toroid and some 18ga wire for the transformer and the capacitor [for under $20, the transformer] and whatever cost is for a half wavelength of wire for the lowest band of operation. Total cost can be less than $50 tops for a 80-10 efhw that covers 80-40-20-15-10 meters with good swr. Buy a MFJ efhw in the 80-120 buck range.

Using repeaters can you get all across the UK with a handheld

Insane setup

Bruna is so professional and customer service oriented!!! I love Begali!!! Bruna Rocks!!!! Hugs from Texas!!!!

The two main features of a beginner station are simplicity, and use a separate radio for V/U. All inclusive radios are more complicated to use, and when one thing breaks you have NO radio until it's fixed. At least with a separate V/U radio you'll still have something while the other one is down. Maybe I shouldn't bring brand into the conversation, but every time I wanted an HF radio Yaesu had the right radio for me. I'm on #3 and #4 right now. V/U radios are a mix.

Been a NWS trained Skywarn Spotter for over 15 years now. Amateur radio operator for over 20 years. We rarely get tornadoes, but a good amount of strong storms. So far I've called in one tornado, but many, many, severe storms/damage.

I'm not even going to try and watch this guy's videos. The only thing beginner about them is the title.

Wow, this was a whole lot of jargon. I'm just a technician but I've been an electronics in audio, video, computers, power distro, all my life. But d***, I'm gonna have to spend hours online researching all this terminology. This is a long way from a beginner video.

Bruna is such a wonderful person to talk to.

Do we still need to get the textbook from ARRL website ?

thanks Jim 73 from kb2uew

I had a lot of fun with multiband dipoles and Windoms and the G5RV doublet. Of course, I used a matcher (tuner). - AA6LJ

This is probably a less than intelligent question but lets say I get the IC7300 what antenna would be a good match? I also have to take into account that I live in a town home community with limited back yard space for anything horizontal and even vertical height could be an issue. Do I have any other options for a base station type of radio and antenna combo? Thank you for any response.

How men who never get laid talk

Best echo microphone for ham radio HF?

Just passed for technician using their course. Studying for general now. KQ4TKY

I want that van! So cool

Many people with ft 101 or another high level radio and cb 5/8 vertical antenna or end fed 😂😂😂😂

Nice video, my friend.. well, I'm a 100 Watt station and 1 wire..😂 somehow, my log says 142K ++ less than 12 months 😊 hmmm now if only I'd had an Amplifier... hope to work ya 73 🎙Ira-J88IH

? why does your extra #3 include the previous exam questions?

The FCC ruled on Satillite dishes that HOAs can to some degree restrict their use, but those restrictions CAN NOT DENY ACCESS. Tenents and Homeowners have the right to access. This would be the best way to deal with thee HOA problem(s) in the ham radio community If the FCC made a rule that says that someone who holds a valid ameteur radio lisence can not be denied accss to any part of th spectrum that their license allows them to use This does not require legislation. it can be done through the FCCs regular rule-making process and a proprly done FCC regulation has the force of federal law! I am convinced for numerous reasons that this is the path to success in dealing with HOAs

I would advise anyone with a Yaesu radio to get the MD200. Its plug and play for great audio.

I love idea of doing contests. I’ve started something that syncs online and offline using the browsers indexed db (you can find in my qrz). Along with that I did a spring native rest api for the backend. This app would make use of the same files n1mm uses for defining the context fields…. Then I gave up bcs I wouldn’t be hosting an expensive infrastructure for everyone to use. Instead I bought an adapter that allows me to use my 12v batteries to supply power to my laptop directly and I just use n1mm. But you’re hitting a need field ops have to allow them to log and submit cabrillo logs. Idk if you planned the cabrillo, but it’s important. 73!

i passed my tech with ham radio prep and just now passed my general with it

It's unfortunate that the Salvation Army is now woke and promotes CRT. I was once a supporter but no longer.

I am German - did some CB radio in my teens, encouraged by by HS physics teacher (DF1CA) Moved to the USA in 1999 Got my ham license in 2022 (General) and 2024 (Extra), with the help of Ham Radio Prep. Thank you - K1MBL

It all depends on propagation. You could have a 200ft tower and 2000w. If conditions stink, you're yelling in the dark. If conditions are good, you can use a coathanger and talk to the globe.

Bridgecom seems great. Sadly, there are no DMR repeaters anywhere near me.

ham radio prep is awesome. thier courses prepared me for my tech. when they give advice on DMR with bridgecom. im listening.
