Antennas Are Everything (The SWAT Team Story)

Ham Radio Crash Course Podcast

Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Antennas Are Everything

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, we talk about the sad state of radio scanning, antennas being everything, EOPs for schools and Z is for Zachariah the movie.
