This is a question The best thing I've built

Wehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

all i know and remember
back then was wrapping around the end of the wire around the antenna, the wire ran out to the top of a telegraph poll at the end of the garden and the range of the walky talky was bigger.. who the hell knows it worked and i got in trouble...that's all that matters as I pissed off Mr Brian who listened to classic fm in his shed, as he complained to my mum that all he could hear was me and my friends over his radio... awaits backlash for annoying shed owners...

Two way radios don't transmit at the same frequency as FM broadcasts.
And the thing you wrapped wire around would have been the outside of a coaxial antenna. I don't know what you think you did, but you definitely didn't talk to the radio in Mr Brian's shed. Soz for being a spoilsport.
