Local inventor Larry Smith illustrate his The Real Coffee Cup Amplifier



2017-06-24 - Farmer\'s Market on the Square, Merchant & Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c).
Larry Smith, who maintains a collection of radio artifacts, demonstrated a working model of his coffee cup telephone amplifier. This was live streaming Shoreline Communications latest acquisition, WDKO, Liberty, KY using a FM2 coffee cup. His extensive research so far with many cups is that the biggest McDonald's cup gives maximum surge in volume. The amplifier idea comes with a caveat: The cup must be dry, both for maximum sound, and because most or all cellphones aren't hot coffee immersible. Larry Smith is the voice of FM 99.99 the Big Dawg; and today, the Oldies DJ for sister station WAVE, 92.7 FM, Russell Springs/Columbia. - EW
