Failing Into Fun with POTA

Show Notes (contains affiliate links): Failing Into Fun with POTA   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 having a solutions pouch, how even failing with POTA is fun, unpreparedness and the Dull Men’s Club, and Airplane the movie.    Announcements: HRCC Net - https://hrcc.link.   Gigaparts Link (get 10% with code JOSH) - https://www.gigaparts.com/nsearch/?lp=JOSH   The HRCC Coffee Club has arrived! https://hamtactical.coffee/shop   Ham Radio Minute: Have a solutions pouch   Ham Radio Test Study with Leah - Sub element 5 HamStudy: https://hamstudy.org Support by getting something from Signal Stuff: https://signalstuff.com/?ref=622   Gordon West Ham Radio Test Prep Books with HRCC Links  -Technician: https://amzn.to/3AVHGU1 -General: https://amzn.to/4ehQ5zz -Extra: https://amzn.to/4efCqJ2   Free Fastrack to Your Ham Radio License Books on Audible (for new to Audible readers): https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/mlp/membership/premiumplus?tag=hrccpodcast-20     Join the conversation by leaving a review on Apple Podcast for Ham Radio Crash Course podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ham-radio-crash-course/id1400794852 and/or emailing [email protected].
