[RESEARCH] Radio Gaga

[Greywall]

Marvin McCoullagh owned a small radio shop in the town of Baile Anora, a cozy coastal town that was part of the expansive eastern coast of Alba. He finished packing his suitcase and checked again for his ID, glasses, toothbrush and a few other things. His wife delighted hugged him from behind. “You’ll do great dear!” He turned kissing her and then walked over to a crib where sleeping baby boy was giving him a light kiss on his forehead. “Daddy loves you laddy, watch mommy for me.”

He grabbed his suitcase then a large box by a handle he attached to it, “love you. I’ll be home in three days.” His wife waved him off as he set off for the center of town where the rail station stood, once a few minutes passed a train heading to the main national line would pick him up and he could head South toward the capital. He had written a letter detailing a new radio model designed specifically for pilots and ships to use, if it could be implemented it could give his country a huge edge in communications and possibly him and his family a wealthy future.

McCoullagh after over a year and several months finally had a productive prototype.

The hulking radio could broadcast farther than anything the UKUG was using at that point, work in the air, over the seas. It did suffer from heating problems, meaning he had to install a set of fans into the back to pull hot air out of the radio. It subsequently meant being around the radio was rather uncomfortable as the heat then just dissipated into the room.

The MC1 radio however was being tested on various aircraft and a UKUG set of destroyers. Given how they handled it was clear the military would rapidly begin employing them in the RAF and Royal Navy, but the Royal Army was still skeptical of them being used in their ranks and asked for something more manageable. McCoullagh was exhausted but took the victory he had with the navy and air force before deciding to pursue further plans on a small wave length radio.

Small wave length radios were now possible for the UKUG. A backpack radio for the Royal Army and a smaller radio for the Star Wolf would begin production at some point in the following months. McCoullagh suddenly found himself at the helm of a multi-million pound business creating military grade radios and overseeing their production now with two full sized factories in Ulster-Gaelia.
