BUILD IT YOURSELF
My father gave me a
crystal radio set when
I was around eight or
nine years old. It was
truly amazing! Just a
few electronic
components, an
earphone, and two
short wires with
alligator clips.
Without a battery or
any other source of
power, this magical
little device would
pick up radio stations
and play them through
the earphone. All I
had to do was attach
one of the alligator
clips to an "antenna."
