For anybody who wants a touch of period flavour, try your hand at setting up and using this simulation of the model of radio issued to the 400+ coastwatchers who provided intel on Japanese movements and strengths in the South West Pacific Area.

Go HERE http://ww2australia.gov.au/coastwatcher/ and click on the radio tab (arrowed) to start.

You have to study on MIT to use that kind of stuff.

Hey, if the rum-swilling planters in New Guinea could learn to do it in between jumping all over the local black velvet, then I expect techno-savvy 21stC geeks and nerds like us to conquer it by breakfast time.

I assume there was no tutorial included ;-)

Only the scroll down slider under the front panel

[:D]

Other than that, you may have to depend on your radio freaks who understand pre-transistor (thermionic valve) technology.
A bottle of rum may help, too.

With or without rum you have to use some force to maintain connection with this radio.



Tomokatu -> RE: Coastwatcher Radio (8/26/2010 10:14:41 PM)

???
Connection to the site dropping out? [sm=00000055.gif] Can't help there - sympathy.

Or just the sim drifting off freak? [sm=00000018.gif] The old sets used to do that. Can't help there either, really [:D]

Try more rum.
