:awwww: was starting to wonder where you vanished to.

Just been spending more time outside, riding the mountain bike more, seeing friends and family. Been working on music too.

I made a radio receiver out of one of those electronic kits once.. But it got fiddled with and I used it as a proximity detector and left it at the top of the stairs.. It give me a heads up when someone was approaching :lol:

:lol: That's great. Tested it at my friend's house as I got it delivered up there since I didn't want to miss the listing to buy it and discovered that for some reason, when it's in FM mode it doesn't pick up EMF. Put it in AM mode and it goes nuts near a power source. :lol:

Frequency Modulation versus Amplitude Modulation no doubt :ugeek:

:lol: Boys and their toys :lol:

In my old job when I was repairing digital amps, there was one particular amp where it would swamp the entire building and nobody could listen to the radio because it would just make silly noises like that :lol:

You reminded me of this video where Electroboom's tesla coil was interfering with the camera:

Yeah PSU blew up :lol:

My tesla coil blew up all the TV's and Radios in the house and the local phone exchange. Its then I decided trying to transmit power in a built up area probably isn't a good idea :lol: :roll:
