GOOD NEWS..Fart Knocker Radio International 6955khz
« on: October 09, 2017, 1747 UTC »
GOOD NEWS: I shall FART AGAIN!! I had been off air after my transmitter would not stay up and kept tripping off due to SWR's and nothing I did could fix it.

A buddy came by who is much more knowledgeable about these things and helped me.  We did a test today on 6955kHz after loading the transmitter into the fire escape stairs outside my apartment. Ran a full 400 watts and full modulation.. and it worked beautifully.

Well, as beautifully as farts radiating from a set of fire escape stairs can be.

And Yes, I am dead serious about loading the transmitter into the stairs

"Expedient antenna"!  I LOVE IT!

Good luck Fart Knocker!

Be aware you could cause a good deal of telephone landline music and TV interference for anyone still using over the air TV, in your building, especially using that much power!

Now that is an interesting way to get radio frequency burns.....climbing up or down a metal fire escape stairway while 400 watts are transmitted into it.....  ;D

LOL! I was just thinking I'd hate to have been the teenager sneaking out down the fire escape when he fired that thing up!

Oh yeah, 400w should blow out some flesh and go to the bone.
