9th week: Learning new devices ...

After having passed this week I've already done the half of the entire recruitment. We've got new leaders, new higher-grade fuckers and we've not done anything interesting but learning new (radio) devices and played with them a bit. This week was as interesting as the others: Boring like hell! On the monday, our class teacher has shown us a telephone which can be easily added to a phone line by using adapter (you don't need to cut the phone line). This technique allows you to create a (ie) 12 kilometre phone line and you can just "plug in" this special phone. The signal is (fm) analog and therefore unencrypted. Another phone we got know is the old army phone:



In order to call someone you need to turn the red (see on the picture) crank. If the ring bells on the other side, you can start talking. In the end of this week we had a radio practice. We were gone to the field and built an antenna, connected it to our radio devices (incl. replaying stations) and talked to other radio stations. The aim of this practice was primary to put the theory into practice (rules of speaking and all that radio stuff)! Bye...
