How It All Started
Back in the fall of 2017, hurricanes ravaged many parts of the USA. It was during this time that the founding team of Ham Radio Prep, led by James N0WRL, began to take a huge interest in Ham Radio (amateur radio) as a way to communicate. We’d read some truly amazing stories about how Ham Radio operators used this unique and proven form of radio communication to save many lives, and it became truly inspiring to us. This motivated us to learn more about how Ham Radio actually works, and also how to get officially licensed.
This led us down a path of deep research and discovery. But what we actually discovered, well, was the actual LACK of clear and concise information on Ham Radio and most importantly, how to properly study for the official FCC exam. Not only was the information that we did find very poorly written, but most of the popular websites on the subject were severely outdated and hard to navigate or even understand.
Creating a Modern Study Experience - That Works for EVERYONE!
That’s when we had our big “AHA!” moment. We knew that if we were having such a hard time finding useful information on Ham Radio and especially helpful resources on the preparation for the official exam, that others were probably having the same problem. We knew we could do better. We wanted to create a complete all-in-one online resource that WE would want to use for ourselves, and that’s when hamradioprep.com was officially born.
Our #1 goal was to create one central website and engaged community of loyal enthusiasts that was not only jam-packed with useful information about Ham Radio and how to prep for the exam, but we also wanted to make it as SIMPLE and EASY to use as possible for people to learn. And that’s exactly what we’ve done here at hamradioprep.com.
