Compact Loudspeaker Crystal Radio

This is the compact version of my 'Loudspeaker Crystal Radio'.

The centre-tap on the primary is not used.

A discarded blister pack serves as the base.

In spite of its small size, performance is as good as that of its counterpart.

My 'Homebrew Horn Speaker' and 60' wire antenna offer the perfect match for this crystal radio.
