Bill: You say you buy your crystals from the electronics store? Real homebrewers grind their own crystals. See attachments. Russ
After reading this I was feeling like a complete APPLIANCE OPERATOR. But wait a second Russ -- that's a KIT! Real homebrewers don't need KITS to make their own crystals! And remember, you are talking to a guy who has used iron pyrite and a phosphor bronze to detect radio waves. That means I have homebrewed my own DIODES! ;-)
Thanks for the cool pictures Russ. Those were the days...

Beyond soldering, growing your own crystals for RF... Very cool. Russ is hardcore when it comes to "the Knack".
