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 bags that work for multiple uses from radios to cameras and beyond, Leah talks about food dehydrators versus freeze dryers and Josh and Leah debate whether or not ham radio needs a rebrand.

 

Have a drink with us! Today, we’re drinking… Lost Coast Brewery Imperial Stout Reserve and Wild Barrel Vice Mango Lychee Sour Berliner Weiss.

 

Josh has a short tip with the Ham Radio Minute: Bags, bags, bags
