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 how you don’t need to be fast with CW, Heatwave Preparedness and commercial interests expanding their reach into shortwave radios.
