Making A Contact With A Wet Noodle

Posted on | by Chris Mattia

In this fun short video, W6AH builds and makes a contact using a Wet Noodle. Yes, you read that correctly, A Wet Noodle Antenna!

We have all heard the joke that at the peak of the solar cycle you can make contact with a wet noodle. Well, W6AH decided to put that to the test.

This video was showcased on WaveTalkers LIVE Episode 100 and the voice over you hear throughout the build are fans of WaveTalkers that sent in short voice recordings to be included in this special short video.

We hope you enjoy!

In this fun short video, W6AH walks you through how to configure a Digirig with Winlink Express and Vara FM to work with a Baofeng. To make sure everything is working we send a Winlink message to W0DGH who gets the message and places the order for the Pizza.

It was fun afternoon of Bike Riding and Amateur Radio.
