Already have my first ISS contact

The Satellite and Space operations course is excellent. I am half-way through the course and already have my first voice contact (ISS). The course material is very well presented and easy to understand. More importantly they cover the details (tips and tricks) that will help make you successful. Due to FM quieting, working a satellite like the ISS on FM can be competitive. The course covers ways to make you competent and give you an "edge" and make working satellites more interesting and fun.

I worked with Ham Radio Prep a few months ago to get my ticket and passed Tech and General first try so their courses work great for me and I plan to keep coming back.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Bob — and congratulations on your first ISS voice contact! That’s a huge milestone 🚀

We’re really glad to hear the Satellite & Space Operations course helped give you an edge, especially with FM satellite work where technique really matters. It’s also awesome to hear that our Technician and General courses helped you pass on the first try and that you’re continuing the journey with us.

Great way to get your ticket to fly the Amateur Radio airwaves

It is very easy to absorb the studies and answer the questions on the site. Ham Radio Prep is a simple yet concise and extremely effective way to work towards getting the ticket to pilot your rig on the amateur radio airways.

This course fits my lifestyle...

I am 78 years of age and at times items I have memorized material that doesn't come as quickly as I would like. This course is designed with me in mind. Text, video, quizzes, I find it perfect for what I need, with an understanding of the material behind it. No time limit which will give me the time I need to finish the course and earn my Amateur Extra License. Thank you.
PS...The people I worked with were professional and extremely helpful as well.

Great for all Amateur Radio Operators!

Ham Radio Prep did a fantastic job preparing me to pass my technician class license for the FCC. I passed with a 100% after studying for only a couple of weeks. There are courses for all three levels of licensure: technician, general, and amateur extra. In addition, Ham Radio Prep offers classes on space and satellite operations, emergency communications, and HF modes. The classes are very informative and are a great mix of video, text, and multimedia for learning abilities of all types. I highly recommend this training to any new ham or seasoned operator looking to hone their knowledge and skills.

Ham Radio lessons made easy(er).

So far it does exactly what I was looking for. A verbal lesson, followed by the written content, followed by a quiz, and follow up on wrong answers. So you learn by taking in the information in different ways. I wish we had this when I was a kid trying to pass my general license and never able to! Starting over again and loving it!

The best instruction!

The video portion added another layer to the ease of instruction. The quizzes at the end of each lesson were great stepping stones to the final test. Now that I have my Technicians license, I’ve enrolled in the General license course!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some of the material feels complicated—you're definitely not alone in feeling that way. Ham radio has areas that can be challenging at first, and it’s completely normal to need more time to understand before trying to memorize anything.

Great expert, greater mission!

Nothing but a great experience so far. I was recently gifted a little Baofeng radio from a family member and was encouraged to get my technician license. Those first several lessons in the Ham Radio Prep app were clear as could be and seem to prepare you well for the exam. I'm a busy working college student with a growing family, so I appreciate that the lessons are broken up into modules that can be read or watched in brief sessions. I also really love the mission of Ham Radio Prep and their willingness to help anyone with the desire to be prepared and get educated!
