After seeing the photos of the device DavidR used in his experiments 12 years ago I got to wondering. . .
Would it be possible to put together a simple, low cost, Spiricom device that could put such equipment into the hands of a larger group of experimenters?
With a much larger group of people actively experimenting, actively attempting voice communication via equipment based on a known to be successfully technology, there could be an accelerated pace of developent. Can you say "hundredth monkey?"
If we get down to the most basic requirements all we would need is:
1 . A low power AM radio transmitter. Ideally operating at 29 MHz, but maybe that is not an absolute requirement. Maybe we just tune to a "quiet" spot on the standard AM band? (What broadcast frequency was used in David's experiments in which it sure sounds like he was receiving voice communication.)
2. A source of 13 tones to be used as modulating source for the transmitter. Easy one, tone sets can be created and available for download as MP3 files, or come in a kit on a CD as music files any standard CD player can play output to the headphone jack.
3. Transmitter and receiver antennas. Simple.
4. An AM receiver, either at 29 Mhz or a standard little transistor radio.
5. A simple set of instructions, diagrams, video or something for how connect all the components and test that they are working properly.
6. A simple set of instructions about how to operate the system to attempt comminication
With a simple system like this available, ideally as a kit, or at least as a list of inexpensive equipment to buy (maybe recommendations for off the shelf transmitter/receiver kits to buy for the serious experimenter) the number of experimenters could grow pretty fast.
Maybe some of us here on this forum with the knowledge and capability could offer our services to analyze recordings experimenters make that appear to have voice recorded.
I would be willing to use my website as a means of recruiting interested experimenters, write a little instruction manual for experimenters, and work at some of the analysis of some experimenter's recordings, filtering, cleanup or whatever. Maybe there are some here who could teach me more about how to do that?
Anyway, just a thought that occurred to me that resulted in a "why not" conversation with myself that I thought I would share.
What do you folks think?
Hey, electronics types out there, what's possible for such a low cost system that already exists out there in the market place?
