Crystal Sets

It is some years since I last made a crystal set, but I well recall a UK book called "The Boy's Book of Crystal Sets" which I think was first published in 1954. It is available on-line.  At the time "Boy's" was OK. If published now, we'd have to say "Young Person's".

Years back I made a short-wave crystal set and heard some impressive DX with it including Radio Australia and Radio Havana. Both these and many others were NOT more local relays. Radio Australia was a real catch and totally amazed me at the time.

There is also some information on my main website. Crystal sets are easy to make and capable of surprising results.
