Off-Grid Power For HTs And How To Get On A Net

  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 off grid power for handy talkies, Leah talks about fire prevention outside the home and Josh talks about how to check into a net.    Have a drink with us! Today, we’re drinking… the late 1900s classic, Crystal Light, with Sodastream club soda and vodka. Pretty good, to be honest. A great way to add flavor without calories to a cocktail.   Josh has a short tip with the Ham Radio Minute: Off Grid Power for HTs.
