amanda n wrote:erm :mrgreen: in these modern days of 2009 this is what you need.

2 x beans cans, washed and dried (heinz works for best reception)
2 x lollipop sticks (make sure ice lollys have been eaten first)
2 x blobs of bluetack
some stickyback paper

take one can. apply one blob of bluetack to side about an inch from the top and press lollipop stick firmly to the side. cover in sticky back paper.

repeat above for can 2 and

hey presto 2 tin can mobile phone/walkie talkies :mrgreen:

What sort of distance and reception do you get :wink:

I think you will find that you will pick up other users even in the alps, it is normally short sharp conversations of " Where are you " " I'll meet you " when I use them.... :shock:

Unless you buy walkie talkies that have analogue and digital coding for the channels...like what we use :mrgreen:

How the rich folk live :mrgreen:
