Mike Rainey AA1TJ has pushed his DX up to 1329kms on 80m using his Code Talker TX (see left) which uses only the energy derived by shouting into a loudspeaker to power the transmitter - no external DC power sources at all. He worked W4OP at 0133z. Just visible is the tin can used to focus the shouts into the LS cone! I am beginning to think Mike will work some serious DXCC countries in the years to come using his "voice powered" TX. Imagine this rig into a beam on 10m when the sunspots are high.Mike tells me he is having a go at a 20m version now.
Somebody should offer a prize for the first person to work all continents by larynx power.
ReplyDeleteI definitely will have to build one of these. I'm not very good at whistling though.
