Alternator, Arc and Spark - The Origins of Wireless by Dr. Duncan Cadd, G0UTY (ex-ON9CHU) Ahhhh! Happiness is a selective-fire FN FAL and no licence required! Oh joy! I've always had a soft spot for technical stuff, things scientific, electrical and mechanical. I suppose that's why I ended up getting a PhD in chemistry. My interests in wireless go back quite some time. As soon as I could read, I would thumb through my Father's technical books just for the sake of having something to read and something must've stuck. Terman, Henney, Langford-Smith, Zepler and a good many others were childhood friends. I did not, of course, understand what I was looking at all those years ago, in many instances I still don't, but a fascination was born and in more recent years I have had the opportunity to build reproductions of some early wireless apparatus. First amongst these was a spark transmitter and an induction coil. I was largely inspired in this by Peter Jensen, VK2AQJ / G4GZT, whose amazing efforts using for the most part nothing more sophisticated than an electric drill spurred me into activity.
