Step 6Use it
tune thru the shortwave bands for weird stuff and try to figure out what we are doing here.
I am not going to tell you now.
A lot of things are happening,
some of which I don't fully understand.
If you are in the dangerous club,
connect this to a "real" antenna (such as for old TV's),
and let this thing go until the battery dies.
Let me know what happens.
I don't want to hear about getting busted by the FCC, that's too obvious.
I mean like it's 1900 and you just met Nikola Tesla and he took you to his lab
and showed you his favorite experiments, that kind of stuff.
At the very least you will hear lots of endless beautiful or terribly awful strange noises on the radio.
I will not list all the freaky things that happened whenever I ran this for more than 24 hours.
It makes no difference whether the radio is on, so turn it off to remove insanity factor from the experiment.
For best results with an amplifier, connect your antenna to an ungrounded input,
either "phono" or "guitar", and turn up the bass and do whatever you want with the volume.
The noise is public domain like the sun wind and rain, so feel free to sample it for artistic purposes.
If you can't build this, don't worry, I think I may soon add alternative ways to get the same result.
