[CW] OT: foxhole radios

[Walter - K5EST]

GM Jude, the only person I personally know is Arnie, CO2KK in Cuba. He has
a shortwave broadcast that taught people to build radios from basically the
simplest components, like make your own resistors, capacitors,  and coils.
Biggest challenge is gathering wire for the radio and and antennas.

Arnie, achieved the on the air building without printed schematics,  using
what was said on the radio.

Google Radio Havana and CO2KK. Arnie is world famous. I got to visit with
him for two days and he is great teacher.

73,

Walter, K5EST
