A Lot of guys are interested in hearing how their rigs sound on-air, but 
due to strong signals
in the receiver, receiver being muted, etc... it's difficult to get a 
-real good- idea of how it
"sounds". 

What would it take to build a 'crystal set' to tune 75m?  Simple diode 
detection, possibly
some sort of attenuation to keep the input signal down, and a set of 
cheap headphones...

Fun Projects that have a purpose!
