Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Ham Radio on the Cheap

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 testing your equipment with your friends, ham radio on the cheap, the Microsoft outage effect on emergency services and the movie San Andreas.
