From crystal set to Black Box
Found on the BBC News Web Site. The story of how, starting as a young child exploring radio for the first time with a crystal set, subsequently led to an amazing career in electronics which has benefited millions.
There is also an intriguing vintage radio photo in this report, too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-49012771 Al. |

Re: From crystal set to Black Box
Yes very interesting story thanks for bringing it to our attention.
It’s a coincidence but I’ve got a Pye Blackbox on my bench and my first set was a crystal set! Cheers John |
