Radio Shack's "Science Fair" crystal radio kit was one of my favorite toys growing up; I grounded it to a radiator pipe in my bedroom and could receive quite a few local and regional stations back in the 1980s.
I reacquired one about a year ago; every now and then I'll fiddle with it, trying in vain to bring in our town's lone AM station. If we have decent weather this summer for a change, it'll give me an excuse to try some outdoor antenna work!
