[SOC] Nostalgia

[soc@mailman.qth.net]

Bonjour � tous,

My vy first home made RX has been a galena based. It was really amazing to be 
able to listen to BC stations w/o any power supply, just an antenna, a coil, a 
small piece of rock, a capacitor and an headset.

But I did not know there has been an other "strange" way to get on air ...

But well, by the time of my galena experiments, I was really too young to need 
any razor blade ;o))
