Many decades back :-) My dad built one for me when I was a kid. He was a geek, and did it the old way. It was cool. Of course, at the time, you could buy a cheap Japanese transistor radio and just turn it on and listen. The crystal set had to be grounded to the radiator and had an antenna that went out to a big maple tree in the front yard. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
