Field Day Is Looming, Time To Get Ready!

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, Josh talks about building up towards field day, power supplies for ham radio and Leah talks about keeping critical documents.    Have a drink with us! Today, we’re drinking… The Bruery’s Mischief Hoppy Belgian-Style Ale.  Josh has a short tip with the Ham Radio Minute: Power supplies missing from ham radios and videos about them.  Join the conversation by leaving a review on iTunes for Ham Radio Crash Course podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ham-radio-crash-course/id1400794852 and/or emailing [email protected].
