Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Cheap Portable Antennas
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 a time before OTAs, outlandish things to prepare for and cheap portable antennas.
