Sec. 15.23b  Home-built devices.
It is recognized that the individual builder of home-built equipment may not possess the means to perform the measurements for determining compliance with the regulations. In this case, the builder is expected to employ good engineering practices to meet the specified technical standards to the greatest extent practicable. The provisions of Sec. 15.5 apply to this equipment.

Theremin Pirate Radio

While we typically favor the manipulation of information in an artistic fashion, conservative talk radio has taken it way too far. In response, we have initiated a campaign of theremin assaults on the central AM band stations in our area.

Our theremin pirate radiator is based on combining the principle of JP Shields' 1967 Two-Transistor Theremin with the design of the RS Limited Theremin and running it all through a high-powered signal booster. By broadcasting high power signals at or just after dusk (when commercial AM stations are required to reduce their broadcast signal due to changes in the ionosphere) we are able to gobble up the central AM band with the purest most angelic theremin grooves you ever did hear.

Our capacitance plate, mostly for dramatic flare, is in the style of a handheld saber. It can be wielded as a sword or delicately held in one hand and played with the other like a violin. The antennae, while it might look shabby, is able broadcast wavelengths between 100 and 400 meters and we estimate the range to be a few miles, which we have calculated to an audience of about 50,000 residents.

		Close-up of our proprietary signal booster. I'm sure this thing is killing off our sperm, but recent poll results tell us that is widely desired anyway.
It was like hearing a dog whistle and getting kicked in the groin. The proximaty of the capacitance plate and the antena turned my body into a broadcast tower.
	Tuning the beast. It might be random, but I want our random sound to be in tune. Standards, people, stardards.
The logic stepped in to save my tingling bean bag.
	A two man job. This approach cleared up the interference problems. (We're croucing because what we are doing is secret)
AM hasn't rocked this hard since FM kicked its sissy ass.
		Everything was going great until the logic accidentally tapped that metal pipe. AM radio has never been so interesting.
A well earned grimmace.
		Our proprietary circuit.
