[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3737599, member: 46636"] When I was a kid growing up in Northeast Kansas my father had ran copper wire back and forth in our attic as an antenna for a crystal radio set. My father was a ham radio operator so he was into all kinds of radio stuff. My brother and I would take turns listening to radio stations via the crystal radio. We could pick up KOMA out of OKC, WLS out of Chicago, KAAY out of Little Rock, WKY out of OKC and radio stations out of Kansas City. I believe at times could pickup a station out of Ft. Worth, but I don't recall it's call letters. We thought it pretty cool to be able to pick up all those stations on a crystal radio with a headset and the radio not needing electricity or batteries. Simply touching the crystal in different spots on the crystal with the probe one could tune in stations from all over. My have times changed! [/QUOTE]
