We Don't Want To Pay The FCC $35.00 Tax

On this week's episode of Ham Radio Crash Course, a podcast loosely based on ham radio, hosted by Josh Nass, KI6NAZ and his no license wife, Leah, we talk about New Year’s Eve, the new FCC licensing fee and how much we oppose it. Warning: This is a much more relaxed, very off topic but somber episode. It’s the last podcast of the year or the first, depending on when you hear this. We wish you health, happiness and the best year you’ve ever had.

Ham Radio Minute: Try out Parks On The Air (POTA) and Summits On The Air (SOTA) chasing. https://sotawatch.sota.org.uk/en/ https://pota.us/#/ Podcast Reviews: We found the reviews! Thank you for leaving reviews, we love reading them and are happy to know the lack of reviews wasn’t something we said, because we say a lot of things. Emails: We talk about ham radio helping out astronauts with socialization, the difference between Banh Khot and Banh Xeo (we told you it was off topic), and answer other emails. Here’s a great article linked by Nim about Ham Radio and Astronauts: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-12-23/ham-radio-and-astronauts You can email Leah if you want something discussed on the podcast at [email protected]. Technician Crash Course: Leah learns about a tricky Technician test question, dives into repeaters, forgets everything she learned a second before and doesn’t do so well. Drinks: We’re ringing in the new year with a magnum of L’eclat de 1990 despite not knowing how to pronounce it. Show topic: The FCC implemented a $35 fee for ham radio and we’re mad about it. Thank you all for listening to the podcast. We have alot of fun making it and the fact you listen and send us feedback means alot to us!

No Power, No Internet, No Cell Service, What Now?

On this week's episode of Ham Radio Crash Course, a podcast discussing amateur radio, hosted by Josh Nass, KI6NAZ and his no license wife, Leah, we cover emergency comms, what to do if there is no power, no internet and no cell service. Hold onto your hats, it’s our longest ever podcast and it’s a long and windy ride. Ham Radio Minute: Why you should get your license. Podcast Reviews: We, like, really like reviews. Thanks for those iTunes ratings. They help the podcast reach more people to grow the hobby! Leah’s Email Corner: We talk about government overreach, SATCOMs, reliable comms via ham radio across the country, neighborhood watch radio communications while Leah butchers names worse than a new substitute teacher. We also talk about what a nation’s collapse looks like, as discussed in this article https://gen.medium.com/i-lived-through-collapse-america-is-already-there-ba1e4b54c5fc Josh mentions this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/wiki/index You can email Leah if you want something discussed on the podcast at [email protected]. Technician Crash Course: Leah nails a few easy questions and learns at what voltage cars get pointy. Drinks: After a 10 day waiting period and a few trips to the store, we got our hands on some Twisted Tea. No one was harmed in the making of this podcast. Show topic: Josh talks about what to do if there is no power, no internet and no cell service. It goes off the rails at the end, fair warning. But I’m not sure no one reads these show notes anyway so I’m not sure why I wrote this warning at all. Thank you all for listening to the podcast.
