My first electronics project was the crystal radio I constructed to earn my Webelos badge in the Scouts. It was like magic—something I made pulled radio waves out of the air

This book has me thinking I should try another one (or three).

I remember my cousin's first crystal radio - I found it so much more interesting than our family's first colour tv!
