Transmission: impossible

Sounds like true "broadband", from my reading of the not-too-technical article there isn't even a low-Q tuned tank circuit around anywhere. The transmitter just throws out an apparently arbitrary waveform into the ether. The other interpretation is discontinuous phase FSK but that wouldn't give you any advantages (just lots of clicking) would it?

If they can receive this with a "50-cent receiver" as they claim then they're doing something at least moderately clever! A GHz A/D does not come that cheap (or does it?) I don't even know from the article what band they're using, if this can be done at LF/VLF (maybe it can) then it would meet that price point.

That's just about the kindest thing you've said in weeks.

What makes you think I'm happy about Congress? There are a bunch of liberal Republicans I'd like to see drawn and quartered along with your heroes Teddy and John.

It fell year after year because the dot-bombs were pumping trmendous money into the government, though Newt's crew tried to hold back spending it didn't happen. Clinton had nothing to do with it (and everything to do with the mess we're in in the ME).

bollocks more like.

Bet the analysts like it though...

I don't believe it. Sounds like a crock of sh*t.

Yep, not a very good stage show, I tried to read through the patent, but I fell asleep, they do that to me, the journo's didnt ask the right questions, shame.

I'll put the link into the "pending dept", see what happens in a year.

It'll be nice if it works
