Man what a great video
I didn't have to pause it 50 times and go look up all the acronyms
I've worked out about 6000km in various directions using low earth satellites and my technician privileges.
I thought about talking about sats, but with theme night we try to stay under 15 minutes... would have been hard to squeeze in. They deserve a video all their own. Thanks for watching, and good job!
Great video. I'm your neighbor- from Tuscaloosa, AL. Just starting to get into radio- I'm currently just a shortwave listener who loves happening upon ham conversations. I plan on sitting for the Technician exam in a short while. Anyway great explanations, very down to earth stuff. You've earned another subscriber, pal. 👍✌
Still studying for my technician license, and really am fascinated by all of this. Only reason I wouldn't be interested in using the internet repeaters is because if we ever had to communicate without the grid I’ll need to know how to work without it.
I completely agree with you, that is my focus also
Good video. I've passed Tech and am waiting for my call sign to post, so this is timely. Sub'd. Trying to decide what HF transceiver to buy.
Icom 7300 hands down. I guess I should ask what you want to do with it, but I use it for a base station, pota, etc. maybe not if you want a SOTA rig, but it’s a great rig
@@K5ATA Thanks for your reply. The 7300 is on my shortlist along with the 991A, which of course would give me VHF and UHF as well. I have an HT for those bands, but I want to learn SSB, so there's that.
I have heard a lot of people who like the 991a. I’m just not a Yaesu guy. I have several dead ones lying about so I’d rather not give them more of my money lol.
@@K5ATA The original 991s had balancing issues in their finals, and many died. I've heard of no such issues with the A model.
OMG, this is EXACTLY the video I was looking for because the chart was confusing and I wanted to know where I could go to and concentrate on. I literally received my call sign yesterday and have yet to get a radio (an HT). SO I APPRECIATE IT! Subscribed!
Glad it helped. Feel free to reach out if you need any further help. 73
Good video!! I’ll be showing this to my class. Hope you’re staying warm. -2 as I’m typing this. Suppose to get down to -11
I woke up to 3 degrees here today... supposed to get 5 more inches of snow tomorrow. Thanks for watching, Bill!
Great video! Great info and an even better presentation.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great job! Thank you for the encouragement. 73
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
It's an irony. that the most difficult modes like microwave, EME and satellites are all open to Technicians. In this day and age it doesn't take much skill to stay on frequency and work the world on HF.
@Smoke Signals RF Hi Don Have been watching, but hurt my ankle couple hours ago and icing it elevated. On my cellphone chatting. WJ3U
Thanks for watching, Don! Hope the ankle gets better
Great video, studying for my general. I understand the Oxford machine was down, it is up yet? I have been on the Hernando machine. Thanks and 73 KD5LDE
It’s had some issues. It was up as of an hour ago because there was traffic on it. Grab that upgrade before the fcc fee kicks in!
Just passed my technicians test today! Now I gotta wait on the FCC :(
Don't forget about satellites!
And packet!
Wow thank you again. Never knew much about 10meters. Looking to buy a 10meter Radio soon. Also I'm studying for my general.
10 meters can be a lot of fun when the band is open. If you are studying for your general, you may be better served to get an entry level HF rig instead of a standalone 10 meter rig. The cost difference is not likely all that much, and the difference is capability is major. 73, thanks for watching!
@@K5ATA ok sounds good thanks again 73!!!
Well made video friend. Thumbs up bud
Thank you! There is a ton that a technician can do and enjoy in amateur radio, and with cycle 25 ramping up, 10 meters is going to be amazing!

#TeamReplay for the win!
Just got my technician license, I bought an icom ID 52 a. Probably way overdid it because I basically don’t know much about this radio stuff yet lol. But I feel like I got one of the best things for a technician? Maybe I’m totally wrong.
First of all, congrats on getting your tech! Second… the ID-52 is an excellent radio. I have one and absolutely love it. Take the time to learn all of its features, there are a ton. One thing I love about Icom radios is the nearby repeater function. The ID-52 has this. Basically, load repeaters into the radio via cable or card, and as you travel, you can have the radio scan the repeaters close to you automatically. If you don’t have a D-Star repeater near you, look into a hotspot. D-Star opens up a lot of the world to you via digital voice. 73, and welcome!
Very helpful just passed tonight
Thank you, I was feeling a little lacking being a tech, But you are saying that you can reach much of the world on 10 meters in the range we are allowed? Thanks!
Interesting.
Still haven’t made a contact on 146.520
FROM 28.300 TO 28.500 ONLY SSB NO AM OR FM ?
Does a special grade technician (Navaids/Leased & Service Channel)
knows how to operate the HAM radio sir?
Thanks in advance.
What is a patawan
This is strange
Thanks for watching!
@@K5ATA how does one get a ham radio lincence
Here is a link to some general info. Feel free to drop me an email if you need any help. goodgamehamradio@gmail.com www.arrl.org/getting-your-technician-license
Interesting video. What radio do you use for 10m?
I use either the Icom 7100 or 7300, depending on what I am doing and where I am.
How much power were you using on 10cm to with the world
100 watts
Thanks 73
Can I do FT8 as a Technician?
Yes! @LonSeidman did some videos about some of what he was doing as a technician, you should have a look at his channel. Here is a video he did about it as he was learning. Great stuff. ua-cam.com/video/P3sjvr8TY7I/v-deo.htmlsi=erq2GNjBlUY-LCQ5
But if the ultimate goal is make long distant contact on the HF frecuencies; why all the pain buying expensive equipment; to achieve the same results with a litle DMR Radio?
How would one go about making money from a ham radio dating channel
It's a Very Good Hoppy to get in to Hightech Field, My call here in N2MJF, have a SDR Play RSP DX and a Adalm Pluto SDR for DATV Reception with SDR Angel, and also have a Alinco DJ-MD5X for Digital Voice Mode on DMR,
