Now this is REAL education that should be in schools - Technology understood and applied, with the theory behind it. Every child should have the opportunity to assemble their own computer and their own radio, grow some fruits and veggies, and undertand the way the world works and grows.
Great video! Back in the 90s I was stationed in Japan with a HAM friend. He was crazy! I helped him several times do Moon bounce comms back to the east coast. It was great hands on building and trying antennas and figuring out the moon to find the sweet spots. Will always remember the challenge.
I've been a ham since I was first licensed in 1991 while in high school. It never gets old. There's always something to explore and learn. I currently have more ham projects then I ever have before.
This is THE best comprehensive introduction to Amateur Radio I've seen. Really fast paced, excellent production values, well voiced and oriented toward the future generation of Radio Amateurs. You make Amateur Radio irresistible!
Great Advert for our great Hobby have to get my friends to watch this when ever I mention I'm a radio ham they all ways come back with the its CB radio.
When they start that, it is usually a sign of not really being interested. Been there with that type and it never went anywhere. I like the "show me how it works" response.
AWESOME ! ! ! ! Simply AWESOME !!!! Bringing the kids in is great! this is just the type of video we need to further interest in the Amateur Radio community! 73's from the USA KC3DXS
Great promo for our hobby. It shows the breadth of areas that can form an entry point of interest: electronics, internationalism, technology and RasPi, .... Well done !
Excellent video that was well done and informative. One thing I noticed is that the clubs in England seem to have done many things right with the younger generation of new hams. Here in USA, I have not seen much enthusiasm from younger "potential" hams. The clubs here seem to filled with "us" old farts. The kids overseas seem well spoken and enthusiastic about radio and technology. Good for them, hopefully it spreads to other parts of the world, including the USA.
Congratulations to the producer of this video, showing the UK and the World our wonderful Amateur Radio hobby. I love to work via Amateur Radio Satellites and via Shortwave. I always enjoy having contacts with new Ham Radio Operators, like all the other HAMs worldwide do! Many greetings = vy 73 Holger, DO2SYD from Germany = DL QTH near Düsseldorf..., JO31CJ.
What a fantastic ad for ham radio ❤. This and the Essex Ham ads are genius level marketing. Beautifully put together in all aspects. Kudos to the crew and participants for such a world class presentation. Love it!
Gonna be doing the foundation course in a couple of months, which I'm looking forward to. Also, as a Linux user, I'm interested to see how our two worlds overlap!
This should be a mandatory class is school!!! elementary, middle & high school! Simply the electronics, a foundation, I feel its imperative! glad I saw this! As a child, my interest was electronics!!!
Nice to see so many young guys and girls, some of them with Scout shirts! I'm a Scout Leader here in Brazil, also a Amateur Radio (PY8SJA), and it's quite challenging to envolve young people in Radio Cammunication! Crongratulations!!! 73
Excellent video. It is wonderful to see so many children involved in Amateur Radio by you. Here in the US I don’t see so many kids involved. Cheers! from across the pond......KB2DCV ...73’s.
Excellent video, our local radio club showed it to a group of Venturers tonight and it was very well received. By the way, isn't it sad the number of whingeing miserable hams who make idiotic whining comments, and as a result demean the hobby instead of supporting it.
Well done, inspiring video. This video would make an outstanding introduction to amateur radio for a beginner's license class. Aloha es 73, Russ (KH6JRM).
Excellent presentation to present exactly what is Amateur Radio to interested individuals young and older. Recommend ARRL in the US present and produce videos on the order and excitement as the RSGB as done.
Glad you enjoyed this video and appreciate all of our online video resources! If you haven't subscribed to our TH-cam channel please do, as you will be notified when we release anything new. We have a lot planned over the coming months so by subscribing you won't miss out!
This video is much better than the book, Alex Discovers Amateur Radio. Electronics is taught in schools now. I wish they did when I started secondary school in the mid 60's. I wonder if teachers ever mention amateur radio? Special event stations can show amateur radio to the public and I think some are fascinated seeing Morse Code in use. G4GHB.
A great video. Wish there had been school activity like that when I was a kid. I would have most likley had my ticket for 60 years now. 73 de John - G)WXU
On the night of New Year's day 2020, I was talking over an EchoLink linked repeater with JG6DEA (Tetsuo, who always wanted to visit the USA), and got to explain lake effect snow (which we experience here in western New York). So sure, discussion occurs over much more than just amateur radio. -- KD2TFB
The SDRplay RSP SDR (Software Defined Radio receiver) is an ideal, low cost way of getting to experience amateur radio - it powers via USB to a PC and covers everything from short wave through to microwave bands. See th-cam.com/video/RfBuLJgjAng/w-d-xo.html - it uses excellent British technology (the RSP is manufactured in Peterborough!) with a support team in the UK - Perfect for schools and colleges
Great video, was looking for a intro video for high school kids. I think the rsgb is way ahead of the arrl for bringing in the next generation of hams.
My State has more square miles /kilometers than the Country of U.K., so when out beyond the metropolitan city, cell phones at times are sketchy, even Satellite phones have issues, with mobile radios, portable mag. Loop antennas I can send radio traffic and even short email over HF to the next State, from out in the middle of nowhere. For Engineers it's also a license to develop RF gear on its bands, encryption excluded.
The mid 20th century was the heyday for amateur radio. Back then it really was "amateur" radio. Hams built and modified their own radios and antennas. Today's so called amateur radio is the same as commercial radio, with different rules. You buy your radio, which even the factory cannot work on, you buy an antenna, you hook it all up, and start talking. I don't see anything even remotely amateur about that. Technology and commercialism has destroyed what was once real amateur radio. I am a general class amateur, and I have gone back to what amateur radio used to be. I bought a 1950s HF radio, and rebuilt it from the ground up. I also designed and built my own antenna. I sold all my VHF/UHF equipment. I am quite happy talking around the world on my antique radio and home built antenna. If you want to truly experience what amateur radio actually is, I suggest you give it a try. It doesn't cost a lot of money, but it does require some skills and knowledge that are not even on today's license tests. I also suggest you get a straight key, and practice Morse code, or CW.
My club is doing a Amateur Radio promotion at a local shopping mall and I am wondering who to contact to get permission to use your video as we have a large screen we could display it on?
It is also a great resource for helping out the fellow man like prime example NOAA Weather Radio which gets their information from us as amateur radio operators in the field watching the storms come in I know I've done it we've also helped with the radio communications during races hamfest Field days a bunch of the other ways that we as hams can give back to our community and we are proud to say that we are amateur radio operators n0spw what is my dad's callsign now it's mine I was kb0swi
Well done - getting the younger generations involved is the only way to grow and expand the hobby

What a great introduction to ham radio. I have been hamming for over 50 years and am still learning. I have met the most amazing people on the air.

We played this at the Essex Skills Night tonight (on a Raspberry Pi) - Very well received, and much needed.
A really well made video that gives an excellent insight into amateur radio - thanks.
One of the best promo's for Ham Radio I've ever seen. Thanks.
What a fantastic ad for ham radio ❤.
This and the Essex Ham ads are genius level marketing.

💩fuck all your call sign license, government ass lickers🤑🤑🤑
@@OregonHerbalist What a dork you don't have the brains to know how to get your license so stick to the Children's Band.
I love this. I really wish to see more openness in the hobby to new ways of doing things.
Gonna be doing the foundation course in a couple of months, which I'm looking forward to.
Also, as a Linux user, I'm interested to see how our two worlds overlap!

By the way: i've loved the screwdriver CW Key! LoL... I'll try it with my scouts...
We hope the video inspires you to keep going!
Excellent video. It is wonderful to see so many children involved in Amateur Radio by you. Here in the US I don’t see so many kids involved.
Cheers! from across the pond......KB2DCV ...73’s.
Good video, well done RSGB. Lovely to see young children involved in a fasting hobby, with a bit of everything for anybody! Dave M0GGK
Excellent presentation. I like to see adults teaching the children. well done. N5JYW, Wisconsin
Great story about ham radio love the video keep them coming 73 from KD2ARD, USA..

Excellent video! Should be a great help in tying to encourage youngsters to find out just what's possible with amateur radio.
Fantastic video! And I'll have several video stars at our JOTA station GB2GP this weekend! I'll have to get their autographs! ;-) (James and Jenny!)
A great hobby for anyone with a interest in electonics
Great video! Congratulations!
Never seen a better presentation!!
A great presentation of our hobby which must inspire our french national society of radioamateurs. F1NNY
Well done, inspiring video. This video would make an outstanding introduction to amateur radio for a beginner's license class. Aloha es 73, Russ (KH6JRM).
I was 14 in 1964 when I passed my Novice test in the U.S. The best thing I've every done! A lifelong endeavor!
Same age and just about to begin; I hope it's not too late to make a start, even though I'm 57 years behind you! :o)
Nice one Martin, what a great evening everyone had. Nice compilation of photos here.

What a fantastic video! Great work by the RSGB. Congratulations. 73, Bob, WØYVA.
Very good film - well done Essex Ham again!
Amazing! Really interesting~🎙📡📻
Well narrated, would be nice to promote this hobby country wide, good life skill for all walks of life

I really really really enjoyed watching this :-)
Would love to see this redone and updated.
Great video! Informative.
Great vid, very encouraging! I’m about to start my Foundation course with Essex Ham. Got me Baofeng on order too :)
My old HF radio - the trusty Yaesu FT840. Loved it.
Good Show, Thanks for reminding me that we need to elmer more new hams into the hobby. 73 jim kf4gnj
Kelly and all the Team, this was an Excellent video, this is what Amateur Radio is about 73 De Steve M1ERS
Excellent promo for "amateur radio". 73 for All from SP2EEF .
We need this as an ad on TV
They don't do free ads, except for some charities when they have spare (un-bought) air-time.
Great video, was looking for a intro video for high school kids. I think the rsgb is way ahead of the arrl for bringing in the next generation of hams.

how things have changed, now all you do is send in 3 cornflake packet tops and thats it you get a licence.
My club is doing a Amateur Radio promotion at a local shopping mall and I am wondering who to contact to get permission to use your video as we have a large screen we could display it on?
0:56 "It challenges you by putting you in front of the technology" unless you're using FT8
Why is that?
Nice video more from that good work
It IS a great video! Now I have something to show to people when they ask me "but why?" :D
I came here in search of the answer to that very question. I'm still not convinced that I have the answer.
Realy great video !
Great hobby
