Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Cuban Communications Jamming? 

On this week's episode of Ham Radio Crash Course, a podcast roughlybased 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 bringing food along to activations , how much prepping is enough prepping and the Cuban “rum runner” radio jammer. We answer emails, talk about the HRCC Facebook Tea and how you might be able to score a free ride from the airport from your fellow hams.
