cuhulin - Aside from just the Google address you provide, is there a
specific URL for the information you have found? Crystal radios are a
kick-in-the-pants!

collection :) Many pleasant memories.

Made my first crystal radio back in Intermediate School. I was into
astronomy at the time (knew more than the teacher G). So during tests and
such, he had me winding coils and bread boarding my radio while listening to
SW. He was a Ham and got me started in radio.

In my freshman year, had another Ham as a teacher. We would sit around after
school and listen on various radios, including Xtal sets. In electronics
class (different teacher), we started out building Xtal sets, and advanced
to 5 tube superhets. Got my first SW set from my Father's friend. Old
Packard-Bell. Tuned 5.5-18 Mcs. First station heard was Radio Australia, I
was HOOKED.

Keep thinking I should build another Xtal set.....

Somewhere I have the *cans* (with a quarter inch plug) to use with
it.....Just can't seem to find *fahnstock (sp?)* clips anywhere. Somewhere,
have a tuning cap, and several *oatmeal* containers...

One of these days.....

Hey rtc,

Forgot to say *THANKS!!!!* for the link. Please forgive the omission. Soon
as I get a little ahead, have to breadboard a Xtal radio, just like the old
days.

The first time I put on those cans and heard two stations (at the same time)
then tuning in others....And hearing Los Angeles at night in-between other
stations....It was a blast.

Again....THANKS!

My first radio was a crystal radio put together by my father because at
4 or 5 years old I'd have messed it up but I could operate it. I was
smart enough at the time to recognize the fact that I did not have to
wind it up or put batteries in it so it would operate as any other toy
I had needed something added to make it work. I got the concept that it
worked entirely off the energy it picked up from the antenna. It was
magical then and it is still magical to me now. Understanding how it
works takes nothing away from how marvelous a thing a crystal radio is
to me.

Crystal radios - batteries not included.
