> This alone is impressive, but [Ted] isn’t done yet. He realized that this method of transmission was generating some strong frequency harmonics which extended far beyond the theoretical maximum 1 MHz frequency of his UART SDR.

i.e., blast noise all over the spectrum. There's a reason why real transmitters are more expensive than a serial port adapter.

This kind of RF pollution is illegal for obvious reasons and if you manage to disrupt something important (emergency frequencies, mobile networks...), it's gonna be expensive.

Don't try this at home!

And it's nothing new.

Same is possible with Raspberry Pi GPIO:
