I spent many a night drifting off to sleep listening to WSAL on my crystal

I remember the rocket crystal set...a friend had one and we tried it
out on different "antennas". One that worked well was the insulated
guy wire on electric power poles.

Also fell asleep listening to the local ROCK station in Toronto.

Managed to build a few too once I laid my hands on some schematics...
sold one or two of them IIRC.

Later on there were some really sophisticated circuits available.

Ahhh, memories.
