..................I too built crystal sets when I was a kid using germanium diodes, winding the coils were a hassle. A long wire ariel from my bedroom window and an earth attached to a water pipe. Just attaching one of those 60's transistor radio white radio earpieces ( the type that you'd pull out of your ear with a lump of earwax attached ) one wire to either side of the diode and the ariel and earth that same way would bring in the medium wave stations, but all together - Light, Home, Third...remember those?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We ingest metals all through out lives. I'd imagine most is filtered out by the kidneys and liver, but some must remain. I use aluminium tea and coffee pots, saucepans of various metals, cutlery of many kinds, the lead in the air and water, fillings of course and many other diverse metals and sources. Not forgetting blood, which contains iron as part of it's make up. All this build up may answer the question as to why older people tend to hear ( sense ) The Hum. But, does it? Talk to younger folk and many hear ( sense ) it too as the Hum Forum attests. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hum Sufferers" group.
