[GreenKeys] Rumination

[Richard Knoppow]

       First crystal set was built with my dad who I think took a course 
in electronics.   Built on a board with hand would coils (on tubes from 
paper towles I think).  Only thing modern was the crystal, not a cat's 
whisker type.  We strung a wire from the garage roof to an upstairs 
porch.   I heard lots of stations around Detroit and listened to the 
Lone Ranger on it.  I passed up a couple of old (maybe) loose couplers 
with detectors at the TRW swap meet a few years ago and have regretted 
it since.
