[NJARC] Crystal Radio Parts

[Al Klase]

Alex and the Gang,

I have Joe covered on this.

Most of the galena you encounter was picked for its large, impressive, 
crystal structure, and will sorta work as a detector. However, the good 
stuff is different.  It's know as steel galena. Here's some mounted 
specimens.  (1/2" diameter)



See my site:  http://www.skywaves.ar88.net/xtal/Steel%20Galena.html

As always I'm going to encourage you all to build crystal sets.  It 
isn't a lot of work, and there is great satisfaction in pulling signal 
out of the ether with something you built.

Let me know if you need help.

Regards,
Al
