Well, Dan, that brings back memories, as I, too, put my first crystal radio together from a kit at about the same age--and, yep, listened with cheap headphones--except in my case that was more than 60 years ago. My antenna was a long length of copper wire I was able to affix to our back fence.

Very interested in your review of the Signal Sleuth. Enough so that it's going on my want list.
