Thank you for studying with us!!
Hey Jim. I Was inspired to look into ham a little over a week ago. I found Ham Radio Prep and I signed up for all 3 levels last week. I studied the Technician for a couple days and was confident enough to contact my local club and scheduled the test for last night. By the time I got into the General I figured I’d test for technician only. Last night I walked in and because I practice tested for both and averaged near 85% I decided to test for General too and passed both!
I joined Maryland Mobileers and will meet the club this Friday night. I will definitely be testing for Amateur Extra in the next month or 2. Thanks!
Rock on Mikey! Thanks for studying with us and its great to hear of your involvement with Maryland Mobileers. We're here to support anytime.
Just passed my technician exam! This course was an immense help!
Jim thank you for the straightforward and easy to understand explanation of the different license classes. Keep up the great work !
Glad it was helpful!
I used the paid ham radio prep app to study & was able to test/pass the tech & the general exams the same week.
The app’s practice tests & videos made it much easier to learn the formulas/correct answers.
FYI-I am a 47yr old High school drop out, that never attended college & hasn’t studied anything in 20+ years…so if I can study, test & pass…so can you😋.
That is awesome!
I used your phone app courses to study for the tests. Took the Technician and General tests last night and passed both easily, just waiting on my callsign. Keep up the good work. 73, to all.
Great to hear!
Very helpful video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent way to get prepared for testing. I used this course to get both my Technician and General and aced both. There would have been NO way I could have done this without this comprehensive course. Thank you Jim and crew!

Thanks for the words of encouragement, 73! Let's keep getting folks licensed and on the air!
I passed the technician license using only the ham radio prep app.
Good stuff
That's great to hear! Thanks for using us to get your ham radio license!
I’m a truck driver is there any testing where an examiner can meet me and test me somewhere?
Hello, in this link you can make your schedule to take the exam in person or online hamradioprep.com/schedule-an-exam/
I am enrolled in the online program. Is there an app i can use to watch this on our smart tv instead of computer?
Hi Johan, yes we have a mobile app! Give it a download and see if you can project on the smart TV: hamradioprep.com/mobile-apps/
WHoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will definetly try this. I need to get this done....spinning my wheels in the 27m band thanks@@HamRadioPrep
Can't seem to find a testing location in my area. I'm going to have to set up an online.
Virtual testing is a great way to take the test if there's nowhere to do it in person! Also helps to get rid of a lot of the test stressors, since you're at home.
@HamRadioPrep Thanks for sharing this information. I am looking forward to taking the test after this comment. I thought it would be a hard to accomplish task. Where does one start the journey to set up the testing virtualy?
My father was a ham way back. In those days learning Morse Code was a requirement. Is that requirement totally gone now?
That requirement is totally gone! All you need to do is pass the exam. Still tons of people operating Morse Code, so definitely something to look at!
What about Novice and Advanced?
We didn't cover those because they are not available to new hams. People on those license levels are grandfathered.
