BUILD A CRYSTAL RADIO

By Austin Hellier

Sponsored by Reclink in conjunction with New Farm Neighbourhood Centre. If you’ve never dabbled in electronics at a hobby level before, you can join our class at the Centre and build an AM radio in a Tic Tac box. This device is totally energised from the atmosphere by the power  it receives from the airwaves.

Classes are held at the Centre over the next few months (dates to be advised,) so leave your contact details on the form at Reception, either in person or over the phone, and we’ll see you in class. NOTE: You MUST bring your own Tic Tac box (empty or full - a standard flexible plastic one - NOT the large one!)
