Re: Simple radio signal

[Herbert H Gottlieb <herbgottlieb@JUNO.COM>]

The most simple radio receiver is a solid state diode (that costs a few
cents) hooked to an antenna and a pair of earphones.  If you wish to get
fancy, substitute an audio amplifier and speaker for the earphones.  All
of these items and booklets of easy to read directions are available at
your local Radio Shack store.
