LF: Spark

["J. B. Weazle McCreath" <weazle@hurontel.on.ca>]

Hello LFers,

OK, if we're all going to confess, I'll throw in my bit as well.
As a kid I had (and still have!) a "Ford Coil"  and I made a
transmitter.  I successfully spanned the 18 miles between
our cottage at Kintail and a friend's home in Goderich with
it, using about a mile of abandoned rural telephone line as
the antenna.  The "tuning coil" was wound on an oatmeal
container and used a sliding wiper...crude but it worked.
