BigRig you're still on this and I still don't have a CB base station you gave me a frequency for a rig I DO NOT OWN. i told you in JULY i have a multimeter and a soldering iron and a garage full of bike parts, not a 40-channel mobile unit. if you want me to key the eastbound dusk you gotta tell me what the alternative measurement is with hardware I actually have

((he's got a point though bro you could at least try the frequency on someone else's radio)) [SIS WE DONT KNOW ANYONE WITH A CB. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO TO THE TRUCK STOP AND ASK A STRANGER TO LET ME USE THEIR RADIO???]
((...ok maybe not ))

TwinPeaks_59 a multimeter and a soldering iron is all you need take a 1N4148 signal diode, a 10k resistor, a length of wire strung out the window like a clothesline at dusk, and that frequency will come through the ground plane loud enough to hear in the headphones. i been on the road 22 years i built my first crystal set at a flying J with a paperclip and a rusted washer. you got hardware just not the excuse for it anymore day 57 buddy and the mike is still quiet

TwinPeaks at least somebody in this thread is asking real questions. BigRig building a crystal set with a paperclip at a Flying J is the most useful thing I've read all week meanwhile Lyrik's EXIF is STILL sitting there and Sakura won't even say the words "March 04"

what's the proof supposed to be at this point - a self-QFT count?

TwinPeaks_59 i gave you the parts list right there in this very thread 1N4148, 10k, a wire out the window. paperclip and a washer if you're feelin old school. day 57 and you're still talkin about hardware you DO own while the eastbound dusk frequency sits there waitin for a listener multimeter on a long wire at dusk is a radio, fact

BigRig I hear you on the 1N4148 and the wire out the window - I've built crystal sets before, I'm not saying it's impossible what I'm saying is my window faces an alley full of dumpsters and a transformer that hums at 60Hz like a dying fridge, and the "eastbound dusk" at my coordinates is a gas station parking lot. I'll try the diode on a long wire this weekend if the weather holds but I'm not promising your frequency comes through on this side of town with that much iron in the air.

Also here's a photo of my bench as of 10 minutes ago - note the ABSENCE of a CB and the PRESENCE of a Fluke 77 that I actually USE that's the 47 tpi cuff from ClassOf04's thread under the magnifier on the right, still trying to settle the count
