Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Antenna Placement of the Pros
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, we talk about how some antenna placements just suck, the arts in preparedness and the antenna placement of the pros.
