Last night’s C2C show with George Noory on Frank’s Box and similar ITC devices went well despite the limitations of the broadcast studio in Sherman Oaks, CA. We were just too well shielded for the boxes to scan properly. I had on hand my Frank’s Ghost Box 22, Ron Ricketts’ very first Mini-Box to come out of production, the Radio Shack Hack, and a Craig’s Box, a modified Daewoo car stereo done by Craig Telesha. In addition, I had a gold-beryllium alloy antenna made by Marcus Leader.

There’s no doubt about it, the box technologies and spirit communication are hot topics, and will continue to be in the spotlight, especially as more people are able to obtain a device. Hopefully, this will lay to rest the nonsense about a “circle of 30” or any such ridiculous claims of monopoly on who can and should use boxes. Box technology is already democratic. As more people obtain and work with them, many possibilities for coordinated research and experiments will unfold.

As an interdimensional interface, the boxes are neutral. They are not dark, demonic, negative, etc., as some fearful people worry. Negative experiences are always possible, just as in any work in the paranormal. People who don’t know what they are doing, who are in it for a lark, and who harbor fears and anxieties about the paranormal are not well-suited to any kind of paranormal exploration, whether it’s with a box, in automatic writing, or with a deck of Tarot cards.

Rick Moran, the executive director of the Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomena, the sponsors of the research for the Mini-Box, shared some observations with me after the show that illuminate the topic. Here are his comments:

There is a connection between every one of the designers/technicians who have worked on the box from its inception by Spiricom. Every one of them was a licensed Ham Radio Operator, including Frank, Ron and Myself.

Someone asked about different antennas… because of the Ham connection, that has been done already. The original Spiricom was an enormous device and operated on the ham bands because it was the only part of the spectrum that could offer a clear channel. They tried both vertical and horizontal antennas. We did the same in our early devices, both Ron and I have “antenna farms” as do many of the ASUP investigators, who are also hams.

Spiricom sounded very robotic, due in part to the equipment being used… tubes and crystals to set the frequency. This was common practice through the 1980s. I recently heard someone spouting a theory that because the Spiricom used a crystal system, it was somehow mystical in nature. Crystals were used in all ham radios, all military radios and a lot of commercial applications… nothing mystical at all.

In your discussion last night, George did not even mention the EARTH SOUNDS project at NASA on the Ultra Low Frequency Bands. Down there NASA has been hearing “voices” for years, which they admit, they can’t explain. As you might have already guessed, that is one of our upcoming projects. The great problem there is the length of the antenna, to do it right an ULF antenna would be buried and would be about 11 MILES long. In the production model of the MiniBox, Ron hand tuned the antennas, winding row upon row of fine wire to match the necessary length of the frequencies being scanned, another difference that helped to eliminate noise and upgrade the voice quality.

Thanks, Rick. And thanks to Frank, Ron, Craig, Marcus and all the other researchers in the ITC field.
