    I took this course to practice for my Technician exam, and it paid off! This course is well thought out and the instruction was great. I took this course because I wanted to research a way to communicate with my family in case cell phone coverage was lost. To be honest, I put off looking into HAM radio communications because I thought that I would not hold interest in it while studying from a book. This course kept my attention, and got me interested in studying other aspects of HAM as well. I look forward to a General Liscense Cram course as well :) Sincerely, KE8QEW

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

What is a HAM CRAM?

Anyone, including you, can pass the FCC Amateur Radio Technician Class exam with less than six hours of preparation. In this course, founder of Valiant Outfitters, LLC and amateur radio expert Joe Bassett (W1WCN) equips you to learn and retain the basic electrical theory, operating procedures, and FCC regulations necessary to successfully pass the entry level amateur radio exam. Joe developed his ham cram system when he “put the cookies of amateur radio on the bottom shelf” for himself to grasp and pass the exam. With his attitude of “if I can do it, anyone can” Joe guarantees that you can pass the exam in three attempts or less (Joe earned his Technician and General licenses with 97% correct and the coveted Amateur Extra class license with 100%!) . In this exclusive online four hour lecture series, plus two hours of lab and exam practice, Joe shares the same mnemonics, tips, and learning aids that he used to start an enjoyable lifetime hobby and contribute to society during times of disaster and crisis.

Why this Ham Cram?  Because you'll...

  • Learn what you need to know without the fluff.
  • Comprehend basic electronic principles.
  • Understand the "why" behind the "what.".
  • Be ready in one weekend or you can take your time.

Because Joe...

  • Breaks down the barriers to becoming a ham.
  • Cuts through the jargon.
  • Teaches what to internalize and what to memorize.
  • Equips you to recall it all during the exam and after.
  • Has done the research for scheduling your exam to save time.

PASS THE TEST or YOUR MONEY BACK

I'm so confident that you can pass the Ham Radio Test that I'm offering a 100% money-back guarantee!! Take my course, follow my instruction, and you'll pass the Ham Radio Test within 3 attempts or I'll give you your money back!
