Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Radios To Take To A Hamfest  + Alpha Antenna HexTenna Giveaway

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 favorite radios to take to a hamfest, what you should buy at a hamfest, preparing to disappear and the movie Threads.
