My Foxhole radio video 2 (much better)

I redid my foxhole radio video by moving the parts of the radio onto a better piece of wood and hooked it up to a stereo amp so you can hear it.

@CassetteMaster Thanks but it was cause I used an amp so people on youtube could hear it I tired it with head phones and it works but I could not get it loud enough for my camera mic to pick it up so I used a amp and speaker to demo it

The music is almost as creepy as your voice.

your point contact diode is working fine. It's not for tuning. To "tune' to different freq, you need to connect to the coil at different places. remove a strip of insulation on the coil and connect at different places

Years ago we used an old oatmeal box with 100 turns of wire. The detector was a nickle and it was tuned to stations by sliding a cleaned and bent piece of metal coat-hanger across a cleaned spot in a section of the coil.

There is also one that uses a block of wood bit longer than a cigarette box for the coil.

Did you also make a video that shows how you actually took the time to do that, your methods, for the newbies? It would be very educational. Nice job.
