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.

For the secret word, go to this page at Alpha Antenna and tell us what the minimum combined length of the gutter and downspouts should be for the HOA Buster HF Emcomm Antenna. https://www.alphaantenna.com/product/hf-base-antenna-gutter-for-6-through-160-meters/)
