Hi Gang
When reminiscing with an old friend this story came to mind.
Here's an interesting bit of radio history. In the 1920's and 1930's
Quaker Oats cereal came in a round box. In that box was all the
material you would need to build a crystal radio. The coil was wound
around the box and the crystal detector mounted on top. I don't know
how they did it but the box top itself was the speaker. That was the
first radio experience for tens of thousands of people. Neat.
