Common myths — debunked
You need to know Morse code
Dropped from Technician in 2007. Zero dots, zero dashes required.
The math is college-level
Basic Ohm's Law. If you can multiply, you're already prepared.
You need expensive gear to study
The entire question pool is free online. We'll walk through every topic.
The test takes months to prepare
Our students average 14 hours of prep. One weekend is enough.
Five modules.
One weekend.
Each module maps directly to exam question categories. No filler, no tangents — just the knowledge that gets you licensed.
Module 01 — VHF / UHF
144–148 MHz
Your First Repeater Contact
The bread-and-butter of Technician privileges. Learn how repeaters work, CTCSS tones, and make your first QSO on the 2-meter band the same day you earn your ticket.

Propagation & The Ionosphere
Why signals bounce off the sky. Understanding skip distance, solar cycles, and why 40 meters sounds different at noon vs. midnight.
Operating Legally & Confidently
The rules aren't a gotcha — they're a framework that keeps the bands usable. We cover only what the exam tests, in plain English.
Just Enough Electronics
Voltage, current, resistance — the triangle that answers 8 exam questions. Plus RF exposure limits so you install antennas safely.
When It Actually Matters
FEMA integrates licensed amateurs into disaster response. This module is why preppers show up and why Scout leaders stay.

Dave Kowalski, W5KRZ
Licensed since 1997 · Teaching since 2009
Dave failed his first Novice exam in 1994. Three years later he passed Extra class in one sitting. That gap — between confused and confident — is exactly what he designs every class around.
He spent 12 years as an RF engineer at a regional broadcast company before retiring to teach full-time. The soldering iron in his hand during lecture isn't a prop — he builds the antennas he teaches about.
"I don't teach you to pass a test. I teach you enough to be dangerous on the air — the test just confirms you got there."
— Dave Kowalski, W5KRZ
"I failed a practice test on Friday night. Passed the real exam Saturday afternoon. The way he breaks down propagation finally made it click."
Marcus T.
Retired Electrical Engineer, Austin TX
"My whole troop of 8 scouts passed. The instructor made Ohm's Law feel like a campfire story instead of a math problem."
Denise O.
Scout Leader, Troop 247, Portland OR
"I built my go-kit the week after class. Having a callsign changes how seriously people take your emergency prep."
