No. Now I go to construct the final clue.

It is in 3 parts. Use only what you need.

1. My Nobel prize was based on discovery of the __________ effect and development of a working prototype, the point contact _________.

2. “If you got it right you get no static
The time and weather is automatic
My _________ sister, playing her radio”
