Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Ham Radio is Easier Than Ever

 

On this week's episode of Ham Radio Crash Course, a podcast roughly

listeners, hosted by Josh Nass - KI6NAZ and his reluctant wife, Leah -

KN6NWZ, we talk about telescoping antennas for handheld radios, ham radio being easier than ever, disaster deadlines approaching and The Survivalist (2015).
