    The August flood took out the Halcyon rig, so I'm rebuilding from the chassis up. Two 807 output valves, a crystal for 6.914, and an aerial that I will not be describing on an open board. Parts list to follow for anyone who wants to help.

    I've got a variable capacitor off a 1950s wireless and a jar of solder I've been saving for something important. This is something important.

    Can I come and watch? I've only ever built receivers. I want to learn how you make the thing that talks back.

    Bring headphones and keep your hands out of the high tension. It bites, and unlike the Continuance it doesn't warn you first.

    New chassis is welded, galvanised steel, drain holes in the bottom this time so it doesn't turn into a bathtub again.

    Halcyon is back on air as of 02:14. Clean carrier, good report from Sector 11. Thank you all. We are not a signal to be jammed, we are a signal to be heard.
