Default My first radio

Was a "foxhole" radio, like this
http://members.aol.com/djadamson7/articles/foxhole.html I wound the coil
on a toilet paper cardboard tube and used a safety pin/pencil lead and razor
blade as the diode detector. It amazed me! I can still remember the first
thing I heard, using a window screen as the antenna. That was over 50
years ago. Thanks for the reminder!

Mine is National Panasonic 5410. Actually it is a MW & 3 SW band
cassette recorder. Found a site that has little info about this
radio:
