A ham buddy of mine who was a transmitter engineer at WLWO, the VOA
station that shared the Mason site with WLW, built a high-tech crystal
set (multiple tuned RF stages) to see how good AM could sound. It was
remarkable.


I once tried a simple single-tuned crystal AM radio connected directly
to a guy wire of a 5 kW AM station, feeding a KEF 105 speaker. It sounded
wonderful.
