Join us to explore the very first discoveries and uses of radio waves with a very simple feedback circuit. It makes a Buzz as it switches itself on and off very fast but we find that it is also transmitting radio waves. We might also make a robot chicken circuit along the way and maybe learn a bit of Morse code too.
