Free Online Ham Radio Course

Do you know someone who is getting ready to take their Technician class license exam?  Have them check out KE4GKP’s free online video study guide:

The Ham Whisperer’s Technician Class License Course

http://www.amateurradio.com/courses/technician/

35 free video lessons (6 hours total)

Andy goes over each question and answer from the Element 2 Technician Class question pool. It’s like having a tutor to walk you through the whole thing.  I think it’s one of the very best resources available on the Internet.  It’s clear that he spent many hours creating the videos. Together with KB6NU’s The No-Nonsense Technician Class License Study Guide (PDF, 411 KB), Andy’s video series is the best free ham radio course available online.

What do you think?  What resources do you recommend for someone studying for their Technician ticket?

    Hi, Interested in starting, don’t have a call sign as yet, where can i start and what course do i need to do first of all?

  • Skip KD7CBF:

    Would love to see a teaching/study program for the extra exam that does not just have questions and answers… would like the theory behind it so I can reason issues, not just pass the test.

  • Bob:

  • manuel (va3-agc ):

    I leave in Brampton ON Canada and I want to upgrade my licence. Anybody can help with some information?

  • KR7PAT:

    Almost anyone can pass the tech test but that doesn’t mean they understand HAM radio. I listen to HF at night, but I don’t know enough to be able to understand my radio and the manual is way over my head. And I am in an area where there are very, very few Elmers to help me. I find many new HAMS with the same problem I have and so they drop out of clubs. I have a Baofeng 2meter, an FT-60, a Yaesu 7900R and a Yaesu 450. I am not computer literate enough to be a VE or to join an ARES group.

  • Dave Bach:

    Hello,
    I am a member of the Florida Militia, and we use ham radios to communicate.
    I need to get my Tech. license.
    Can I use just your video lessons to pass the test, or do you recommend I purchase a study guide as well? Are watching your videos going to be enough for me to get a passing score?
    Thank you, Dave Bach

  • dr Bill Clarke:

    I was told I don’t need a licence if i’m not operating commercially, all communication is protected by the First Amendment.

  • J. Webb:

    Looks like this was published in 2011. Is the material current relative to the latest topics/requirements the FCC is testing on?

  • Eric Schoenherr:

    I don’t have a call sign yet. I am studying for the tech. class license is this material still relevant? As it was published in 2011.

  • Arlene Pena:

    Is this course still available?

  • Fran, KF7MCQ:

    I am looking for a free online tech license program for a family at church. They have a passel of kids and would like to get the whole family licensed.
    I saw that the course offered here uses a rather old question pool. Can anyone recommend a free program that is more current?
    Thanks,
    Fran, KF7MCQ
