Today I get to talk to K5YVY, Joe Brett. Joe is a weather chaser and likes to share his contesting on live streams. He is also part of several group ham radio discussions on YouTube, including the new Ham Radio Clubhouse. We talk about getting started in amateur radio, shack building, "small" 40 foot towers, and the money sinkhole (or not!) that is ham radio.
