So if you find yourself without batteries for a radio this would be a very good portable cheap and simple radio that will keep you connected even if the power goes out.
This would be small enough to toss in a glove box of a car or keep in your shelter, etc. Basically a grab and go with no need to worry about batteries. Make a couple so the kids won't be fighting over the radio while you are hiking or hiding.
Normally a crystal radio would require a couple capacitors but as you can see this one will work without on strong radio stations so would also be something that can be put together with a minimal amount of parts.
