At risk of the bullyboy fascist minority on this forum showering me with cheap abuse....
Can anyone recommend a good megaphone for demonstrations and paper sales? I'm currently using an ER-1206S splash-proof handheld model, with a 10W max power output. However, the battery drain is a bit annoying, 4 AA batteries only grants about 5 hours of moderate use (more like 3 hours if used for stewarding). It has a range of 250 metres which I thought would be sufficient, however I have noted that at many cruical moments we tend to be drowned out by the empty vessels of the SWP. I have tried to ascertain what model of megaphone they are using, but we weren't enable to get close enough to discover the make, in any case our enquiries would probably meet with revisionist abuse.
I need something that is going to be extremely loud - I suggest a range of 400 metres. It also has to be very clear, we can't use muffled models in case any working class Muslim protestors mishear us. The English language can be hard enough to grasp sometimes, but doubly so over an ineffectual or crackly speaker. (this isn't to say we don't have more Asian members than other parties - on the contrary, we represent the most multiracial and diverse section of the revolutionary working class in Britain at present)
