THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Find out how many different radio signals you can receive from your house
Scan the radio spectrum available from your home and make a list of the broadcasts you can receive. Listen only to transmissions intended for public reception, and do not transmit without the proper licence.
Do it
- Gather a household radio, scanner or software-defined radio if you have one.
- Scan the bands your equipment is designed to receive.
- Note each station, frequency or service you can identify.
- Try different rooms, aerial positions or times of day.
- Make a simple list of the signals and where they came in best.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
