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.
