What is the Ham Radio Crash Course?

Started by Josh Nass (KI6NAZ) as a YouTube channel, Ham Radio Crash Course (HRCC) has evolved into a rapidly growing community of radio ethusiasts that are excited to grow in the hobby, and help others grow as well.

Ham Radio Crash Course is now home to the HRCC Live Stream, HRCC Concise Videos, HRCC Podcast and Ham Nation Show. You can find more information on the HRCC Discord or HRCC Facebook Group.

The Vision

Ham Radio Crash Course is an inclusive community focused on normalizing ham radio, getting people licensed, having fun with everything the hobby has to offer and keeping the bands alive.

-Josh Nass, KI6NAZ
