How To Get A Ham Extra Licence In 30 Minutes!

I decided to get US ham radio license. Here is an overview of my experience of sitting the exams.


Links for the services that I personally used:-

Volunteer Examiners Australia:- https://vea.org.au
US Postal address (Shipito):- https://www.shipito.com
FCC Cores system (FRN Registration):- https://apps.fcc.gov/cores
Operate big radio systems remotely:- https://www.remotehamradio.com/

NOTE:- I am NOT sponsored by any of the above & have absolutely no affiliation to any of them. These are just the organisations that I used. I did not tell any of them that I would be making a YouTube video & they have had no editorial control over this video.


I run the channel on a non-profit basis for my own enjoyment & (hopefully) to benefit the ham radio community. I fully intend for my videos to be free for everyone to watch and therefore I don't have Patreon or other membership schemes.

If you do want to help support the channel you can "buy me a coffee" using the link below:-

All funds raised will be put back into the channel (upgrading camera/audio equipment, travel costs to film content etc)
