Hi all, Fastradioburst23 here letting you know about a couple of instances of the Imaginary Station COOL on the shortwaves this Sunday 23rd July 2023. The first show will be beamed to Europe via the services of Shortwave Gold in Germany at 2000 utc on 6160 khz.
Then later at 2200 hrs UTC on 9395 kHz the show returns in a remix form via WRMI. On both transmissions expect some cool tunes for surf, sun and summer breezes and for the shortwave spectrum of course. For more information on the shows email Imaginarystations (at) gmail (dot) com
These are VERY COOL. . . and the technology had already taken care of the RF interference!
Inside a fridge is effectively a Faraday Cage when prevents all electromagnetic radiation in either direction getting inside, when the door is closed. This would mean no broadcast signals as well.
In the Samsung case the screen is large and would not stop the 5 GHz Wifi signal reaching the antenna behind the screen.
Wow! Interesting stuff!
Cheers for that David!
All,
Thanks to Fastradioburst they are valve radios, so produce heat. This would have to have a way out without heating the food!
Transistors and integrated circuits reduce their gain as the temperature drops. I had a germanium transistor radio camping which stopped working near 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) as the day warmed it came back to life.
Of course they are, I didn’t think. I wonder how good those ridge/Radio combos were and if they caught on anywhere. That is interesting about the radio coming back to life as the day warmed on.
Today’s equivalent uses the internet via Wifi

Brilliant!
This is the modern day equivalent but it gets its radio via Wifi

Seen this? This is the actual radio is on this page if you scroll down. http://www.analogdial.com/H-126/H126PG5.html
I believe it’s a radio with a built in fridge ?
Ha ha that’s it, it could be that!
Now I want a fridge with built-in radio! 🙂
I am with you on that!
