Antenna shirt
Phone lacking intensive antenna, so shirt enhances signal | |
A shirt with a copper wire sewn into it, and a small transmitter
that then retransmitts the cellular signal to and from your and
everyone's phones. So you and your community of antenna shirt
wearers have a good signal wherever you go.

Too much copper right against your body could
become a copper salt which is one of those bad
things for you... |

Ha! [pashute] yes - it seems like two ideas
combined - antenna in clothing: ( perhaps done as
a concept in a1’s link, but not WKTE) and an
altruistic human signal-booster, using said antenna.
So worthy of a [+] for altruistic thinking. |

As an aside, I had an animated debate with a radio
systems engineer about the plural of the word
“antenna”. we concluded that insects have
“antennae”, and radios have “antennas”. |

I think (in the UK at least) you would run into
transmitter licensing issues. You’d also have
problems with interference, power supplies, and
possibly power RF next to skin. |

I remember a discussion with someone who lived in
a remote valley in the Highlands. He wanted to use
a passive array (a receiver antenna passively
feeding a transmit antenna) to “beam” TV signals
to his house- effectively a kind of waveguide.
He was told by the Radiocommunications Agency
that it wouldn’t be allowed as it was technically a
transmitter! |

See last link for Wonderbra version posted in 2010.
I always thought this was one of my best ideas. |
