Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Ham Radio in the Big City 

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 having that ham radio rizz, POTA racing through lower Manhattan, how our NY-PA-DC trip reframed our views on government’s role in preparedness, and the movie Contact (1997).
