Well it seems, after extensive testing that I cannot use the RS 12-469 array as an audio source for my project. It seemed very promising to me in the beginning but the more I worked with it the more I found what seemed like relevant speech being corrupted by the radio broadcasts themselves. Ultimately this method and methods like it would not be fully accepted because of its questionability and its failure under indepth scrutiny.
Recently, a few other researchers have been experimenting with parts of speech called allophones. These fragments of sounds seem much more promising when used in conjunction with Stefan Bion's EVPMaker. Stefan himself seems impressed by the results others have received using this method. He is also looking for a sample audio recording of German allophones. So, if anyone runs across them let me or Stefan know so we can get him up and moving. We are also looking for examples of phonemes, fricitives, consonants, vowels and formants for this very same experiment. We need the audio sounds not actual words. LOL
Anyways, this is what has been going on lately. Feel free to contact me with any questions or just leave comments.

This is it!
Thanks to the many minds involved in the Radio Shack, RS 12-469/470 hack I have found the third component for my ITC unit. I have pretty much duplicated Mike Colletta's spircomp, practical application design. Using three modified RS 12-469's, an optical microphone of my design, a four channel mixer, various cables, my laptop, and DCSix with a SoundSoap2 plugin, I have found an arrangement that is both successful and comfortable for me.
So far, I have done in comparison to my old method, a handful of recordings with this new array. I have successfully made contact, which seems pretty consistent. A lot of the messages received are very personal in nature at this point and will remain that way. If anything meant for another member or the group in general is received, it will be shared.

Mike's Mods
A research associate, Mike Coletta has created a modification for a standard radio shack radio model that simulates the exact same thing as Frank's Box. The creator of Frank's Box, (Frank Sumption) has said that Mike has captured to very essence of what he was trying to accomplish with his box design and is relieved that there is someone else who can make these in an inexpensive way.
Right now Mike is giving away 10 microchips a week for free. Even shipping is paid for by Mike all in an effort to get more people involved in spirit communication and ITC.
If you are interested in your free microchip please email him:
duck@ghostshop.com
Write "Free Chip" in the subject line.
If you want to see an example of his creations or the simple mods you can do to a Radio Shack, RS 12-469 or RS 12-470 please goto:

He has asked all of us to get the word out to as many who are interested as possible so please pass this on to all Paranormal Researchers you know.
Best Regards,

Project Update
The signal mixing and processing units (laser TX and phototransistor RX) of the communicator are done and ready for testing. Now the focus for the last few weeks has been signal generation. I have been testing and experimenting with many different techniques and equipment to find just the right complex signal needed to put through other units. So far my hand-built terrestrial radio, tuned to the 10 meter range has showed the most promise. The antenna I am developing involves the interaction of a dual-coil, ferrite core, bar antenna and a two modified, Neodymium (N42), cylindrical magnets (each producing a magnetic field strength of approximately 7000 gauss and a combined pull strength of 218lbs) and a faraday cage which encompasses the enhanced antenna array.
I will post more of the specifics later.

Project update!
The new project listed in the prior post has grown beyond the little black box stage you see in the picture. The new project incorporates the laser beam communicator along with a 10 meter band radio. The pulsed laser now has been designed to skip off two rotating mirrors, while then striking the infrared phototransistor.
The signal being transmitted over the pulsed laser is brought in by the 10 meter radio, which is plugged into a self designed scalar antenna. The experimental design has been derived from an earlier Nikola Tesla idea to capture 'non-hertzian' pulses or what has been termed as Tesla waves. The Tesla waves are completely a "psuedoscience" idea for most mainstream scientists because of its metascience roots. It is unproven and without any supporting evidence besides the claims of a 19th/20th century inventor, Nikola Tesla.
The antenna I am building operates beyond the RF spectrum. Measures have been taken to insure all RF radiation has been blocked from the antenna elements via a Faraday cage built around the entire communications cabinet. Even though modern scientists don't posses the courage to explore these ideas in the open and few of us amateurs do. So far the results have been encouraging and the effects have been eye opening. Explanation? At this point I would have to say, "I don't know" but I will keep you updated.

Frank

Pulsed Laser or Light Communications for ITC/EVP
Wow, its been a few weeks since my last post but I have been really busy. I have taken on a project of using pulsed laser light to communicate across dimensional barriers. There are many designs for laser communicators out there, each claiming to do great things but I have found that only a few are technically accurate enough to actually work. I chose, ordered and have been testing a relatively cheap design that has shown much promise so far. It was designed by the engineers at Ramsey Electronics as the LBC6K, Laser Beam Audio Communicator and has proven a really reliable and working laser communicator. Shown below is the assembled, modified and boxed prototype.

If you click on the picture it will take you to hundreds of my EVP recordings.
Some of the pros that I have noticed about the box: (1) RF interference is ruled out because of the light beam transmission system. (2) It can use either a 12VDC transformer or two 9V batteries. (3) It's 3.5mm standard stereo jack allows it to plug into PC, speakers, digital/analog recorder, physical inline filters or any other equipment designed for audio editing. It is a blessing to be able to plug this into a laptop and monitor, record and analyze at the same time. (4) It has a built in AGC (automatic gain control) circuit that will amplify the softest sounds and lower the volume of louder sound to insure your eardrums a smooth ride. (5) It has a internal condenser microphone and a jack for an external microphone with jumpers to select between the two. I have left the jumper in the external position without a mike and I still received a clean EVP stream (though pulsed). LOL
With a few minor modifications suggested by my spirit friends/research associates on the other side it has produced very clean EVP. Now we have to move into a new phase of construction to make it usable for direct two-way communication.

Received a Phone Call from the Dead Today
I got a hangup vmail on my phone today after recording this morning. I received a file earlier affirming they had found me at work . Then I received a phone call, apparently while I was away for lunch. When I checked my vmail for a message it was dead air with short clicks in it. I decided I would record it and see what it could be with a little amplification. This is what I got!
Say who you are
Get off us!
Go on excellence
Look East
Where can you hear more?
I post all of my public files at my esnips profile: DRV/ITC Recordings
Feel free to have a listen. Don't fret if you hear them a little different, we all do. The messages we receive are meant for certain people to hear and are designed that way by the person sending them. We are not dealing with typical sound generation.
Any questions, feel free to email me.
