Field Day Is Looming, Time To Get Ready!

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

based on amateur radio but mostly made up of responding to emails from

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

KN6NWZ, Josh talks about building up towards field day, power supplies for ham radio and Leah talks about keeping critical documents. 

 

Have a drink with us! Today, we’re drinking… The Bruery’s Mischief Hoppy Belgian-Style Ale. 

Josh has a short tip with the Ham Radio Minute: Power supplies missing from ham radios and videos about them.
