[CW] OT: foxhole radios

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

That's a good idea, Jude.

Around the world nations are shutting down their Medium Wave broadcast
stations.

I think it is stupid for the reasons you mention.

I guess you're asking us to paint a picture of how to make a simple crystal
radio set.

I think some of the foxhole radios used razor blades and graphite pencils.

We've got a great group here, I'm sure we can help you especially when your
helping others.
