My 11 year old son Tommy (N1SPY) completed a project where he compared a 1W lightbulb to a .25 W radio beacon that he put together and bet that the radio beacon can be heard around the world. I asked him to document his activities as he went along. The project took a couple of months but is now complete and we stitched together a video of his activities.

Wow–Tommy, you’ve done an amazing job here!
I especially like how you’ve taken time to explain the principles behind the various steps of the process. Brilliant job!
Tommy, your future videos are always welcome here. Keep up the good work and we’d love to hear how many new countries you’ve racked up on your WSPR system!
Tommy, do you speak Bulgarian?
Fantastic work there, Tommy! I loved it! A very informative and well-produced video and it showed that you really know your stuff! Also great to see that your WSPR beacon was heard in Australia, too! Looking forward to more videos from you. 73, Rob VK3VBVW
