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 the top ten questions people get wrong on the
Technician exam. We really shored it up this time, got it under 3
hours despite the many requests to make it longer. We honestly would
but have you ever heard of this amazing thing called sleep? We
recently found out about it and turns out, we love it.
Don't forget the Chameleon EmComm II Antenna giveaway with a secret
word hidden in the March 26, 2021 podcast. Giveaway ends April 8, 2021
5pm PST. Link to giveaway here: https://forms.gle/qxPD7BJmcaNaCz7T8
