Why Is The General License Exam So Hard And Antenna Giveaway-Closed

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 3 antennas to try, Leah starts studying for her General, and as always, lots of emails. We really shored this one up.   We wanted to do something for our dedicated listeners that kept us going this entire year on the podcast and celebrate our first year of podcasting together (Thanks for the reminder Thomas!) so we buried the Secret Word for the Chameleon EmComm II Giveaway in the podcast. Thanks to those who listen every week and laugh along with us for these now extremely long podcasts.

Thanks for those iTunes ratings. They help the podcast reach more people to grow the hobby! Leah’s Email Second Story Addition That Makes Architects Cry: We answer emails. Yes, we know this is a long segment but we value our “field correspondents” because they add value.  Link to General Exam Prep Playlist:  <a href='https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1KAjn5rGhiy5BVvY2fZYRVwPsqZ5eF2v'>https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1KAjn5rGhiy5BVvY2fZYRVwPsqZ5eF2v</a> For online testing: <a href='http://w8wot.us/'>w8wot.us</a>   This is where Nathan’s Yaesu is:  <a href='https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/suez-canal-jam'>https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/suez-canal-jam</a>   Oscillation Overthruster procured by William:  <a href='https://buckaroobanzai.fandom.com/wiki/OSCILLATION_OVERTHRUSTER'>https://buckaroobanzai.fandom.com/wiki/OSCILLATION_OVERTHRUSTER</a>   HamSCI livestream by Ham Radio 2.0 as suggested by Jody:  <a href='https://youtu.be/xfhAxuViTYQ'>https://youtu.be/xfhAxuViTYQ</a>   Farm Stay Camping: <a href='https://harvesthosts.com/'>https://harvesthosts.com</a> Y
