Crystal Radios

Post by Brambles »

I had a bout of nostalgia the other day whilst watching Secret Army and ordered myself a Crystal Radio Kit. Can't wait for it to arrive and have a play with it. I thought it would be a good addition to the old comms thing too as it doesn't need eliktrickery. :D
Anyone else play about with crystal radios?

Crystal radios are fun to make and use and can lead onto other things.
