Wondering whether to stop at Technician class or go straight for General? Here's everything you need to know. In this video, we break down the REAL differences between Technician and General class amateur radio licenses — what you can and can't do with each, and why so many Technicians end up leaving the hobby.
In this video I cover:
- Technician class license privileges
- General class license privileges
- Ham radio HF bands explained
- Technician vs General exam prep
- How to get your ham radio license
- DX contacts on ham radio
- POTA and HF operating
- Ham radio study guide
💡 Key insight: The exams share a lot of the same material. You can take both in the same test session for the same $15 fee. One more exam = access to the entire world on HF.
