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.
