Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Failing Into Fun with POTA

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 a solutions pouch, how even failing with POTA is fun, unpreparedness and the Dull Men’s Club, and Airplane the movie.
