Scuttlenet frequencies

It\'s for youhooo ....

afore that well known countryman o' mine, A G Bell, invented the 'phone, two cans of beans plus string attached through the bottom sufficed. Hae youse considered the efficacy of a pair of (empty) fray bentos tins which must have greater propagation potential due to large size? reception must be much improved with the large corrugated diaphragm type base on such tins so that upper voice frequencies eg 18khz can be heard .. will supply tuning fork which can be used post-cooking to eat contents ....

Blimey - how much string do I need do you think? Who will be the "telephone exchange" where will all the strings come back to.?.

Maybe that's why that Italian bloke upstaged the Scots and did away with the string?

Re: It\'s for youhooo ....

Are youse referring to Guiseppi Giovani Talkaloti? an early attempt at fibre optics with spaghetti which didnae work in the wet?

A Chicago undertaker invented an exchange with wee switches not dis-similar to a row of ten FB tins with holes in them ... not ultra modern technology, I Grant you, but BT still have a few so plenty spares ....
 
Re: It\'s for youhooo ....

Now looky here Mr. I'm puttin' up a proper like post about blasting lots of watts up me backstay(or with the leakage I got at the mo all over the LEDs on the switch panel) and you are determined to scupper the modern transmission idea by suggesting the use of some outdated scotch (tee hee bet you like that) invention nicked off a welsh scoolboy.

Now please refrain from you manic revels, get on and do something useful like winding Jimi up.

Like the VHF, it's best to choose a channel that isn't already occupied as I'm told 8104 was last Sat. It needs someone to listen in to a few channels and pick one without much traffic.
