I have been transmitting NRK P1 in Germany with 10W for 3 years now (on the FM band). Never got any problems with the Bundesnetzargentur. It seems like no one cares anymore about analog radio...
Applause! The ingenuity, the forethought, the creativity. That transmitter is just the coolest thought out portable rig Ive ever seen. You were able to operate unmanned and remote. Today it's easy with an arduino, raspberry pi, or a cell phone. This took a whole new level of creativity to make it work. I'm very impressed.
That's one of the coolest rigs ive ever seen. The 1/3 chance switch is probably the coolest thing about it. I never thought of something like that. You should get up and running, a lot of us would love to see it work.
Nice to get a like here.. Reason I found you was there happens to be a pirate up and broadcasting in my town of Johnstown Pa USA. He is up to about 100 watts FM now, and has no fear / concern of the govt. ( FCC) Anyway, was feeling nostalgic about my days as a pirate back in the early 80s. Had my AM transmitter in the basement, and antenna was running along the clothesline. My mother was concerned lightning was going to strike it my father was concerned about getting a knock on the door about it from the FCC. Neither happened. What ever became of your underground transmitter?
That one in three chance decision maker part was quite ingenious.The Oscillator used for the transmitter looks like a Colpitts configuration type to me.The Output Stage looks interesting and I wonder how far your signal would have got using a supply of only ten and a half volts and domestic V.H.F. Radios as they were back then.Assuming that your signal got down to Sandviken Village did any of the people living there comment on your radio programme?A pirate station has to have an audience or it is only a science experiment really.
It certainly reached Sandvika! It easily covered Oslo and most areas in the Oslo fjord north of Drøbak 30 km to the south. It was mentioned a few times in newspapers and in "official" Radio programmes. A ham radio operator in Oslo had his home raided by the police because of rumours and a suspicious looking long wire from his window attached to a tree!
great video, I loved hearing all the pirate stations of the 70`s here in America. I have thought about getting a low powered station up I think its only 100usd.
Today you could do something similar with some linux code on a raspbery pi hooked to a solar replenshed lipo battery powered transmitter. You might even have a sms reciever to upload variable content. The only problem is that so many people decide to ignore any information that does not support a comforting world view, even if that view is all a lie.
This is pretty remarkable. I wonder if you could tell me how could I make an AM transmitter that delivers the frequency am looking for, specifically 457 kHz. I don't need to transmit music, just the signal.
Yes the transmitter is a very simple design only one transistor. I don't have the circuit diagram to the amplifier but it also has a very simple design.
Too bad, the most stuff on the internet is not very trustworthy or incomplete. Maybe I'll try to build some amplifiers and see if they work. But I don't want to put too much effort and money into it only to find out that it's not working.
@@thesciencefurry To make the transmitter you only need one transistor a couple of resistors and capacitors. Cost almost nothing. Even without the amplifier it has been received at a distance of approximately 30 kilometres using a small 9 volt battery.
@@BengalsOfRidanos With the transmitter I saw, I don't think that's possible. I'm currently building a 2 watt transmitter. However these LC transmitters are pretty frequency unstable.
I might do a video about how to build one someday. It is very simple. you don't really need the amplifier. You can surely find a schematic online. Just Google FM transmitter.

This is one of the greatest things I've seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing this incredible piece of engineering. This made my day.

Im a electronic engineer...But what you have made there is a electromechanical amazing bit of fun...

Absolute genius. Definately ahead of his time this chap.
It's amazing to see a setup like that. Especially for the fact it's electromechanical, instead of being computer based.
awesomesauce! 🤩 you should get it running again. maybe some nickel-metal hydride cells and small solar panels to keep em charged.
Absolutely genius; I love it. :-)
You sir are a genuis!!! These days it would me easy to do with the digital stuff
That is simply amazing. cams, gears, clocks, switches, batteries, frequency meter. Just amazing.

Such a cool old skool transmitter and the cat walking the wheel at 6:40 was the icing on the cake.
ABSOLUTELY remarkable. Truly ingenious in so many ways. 10+
Wow and I thought my soldering was shoddy, lol. Fair play though, lot of thought and ingenuity gone into the transmitter
Nice set up. I like the cat too.
What a cool set up and well thought.
You need to build a huge one in Mexico...
5:54 Cat in giant hamster wheel!
Taylor Sharp That cat's a cutie.
bolekasayateemandengankaukawansehabat
that was exactly my thoughts lol
Really interesting setup, but I was more interested in watching the cat in the big wheel at the end... 🤔
Absolutely brilliant!
Excellent great piece of gear.
Brilliant

classic 2n3553 vhf power transistor use heaps of them.
Absolutely cool and just plain brilliant !
Amazing who ever built that was a talented fellow

Great video and amazing ingenuity. Well done. :)
Well engineered!
Very cool - thank you very much for sharing.

That is excellent.
I was wondering what that sound was and then I see a kitty exercise wheel! That's awesome!
That's what generates electricity for the house. Lots of gears and cams and 240V is generated lol
oh man

your cat (s) are cool as . I wish that I could have seen that wheel thing in the background . (y)
I have several other videos of the cats on the wheel.

That is one nifty piece of machinery. why not build a modern version?
Well, we don't know what he has today 😉
He only shows what he built many years ago , quite sure he has some more advanced today 😁
GENIUS!
Very cool.
Wow that’s really amazing. Great job, that’s really cool. First amendment ✊🏻
Inspiring.
so.. what's on the tape?
Mostly for political things from that era, Alta Dam Conflict, gay rights, criticism of religion...
Do you have any schematics?
I might do a video about how to build one someday. It is very simple. you don't really need the amplifier. You can surely find a schematic online. Just Google FM transmitter.
@@BengalsOfRidanos ok but do you have schematics for the rf amplifier part?will il work with 2n3866 instead?thx
@@slender1357 www.electroschematics.com/diy-fm-transmitter-circuits/
@@slender1357 Just try and see if it works. Transisters like that are not expencieve.
brilliant!!!
You’re my hero!
Awesome. I am flabbergasted.
Goodness me! Cool Dude Clem has aged badly.
Genius
Reminds me of a number station. ✌️
What is the breed of your cats? And two thumbs up on the transmitter!
Thank you. Cats are Bengal.
Glimrende! :) Sandvika's Reodor Radio Felgen! ;)
That's amazing! Cat Power!
Thats awesome
So cool
perfect timing at 5:55.lol
you have to love the 555 , good catch
fucking Genius!
