James Gardiner Crystal Radio from 1939

James Gardiner b 1921: January 30, 1939 Sunday, Went to Sunday school and meeting, administered the sacrament for both meetings. Measured my height and found it to be 5ft. 9 11/16 inches. Had my haircut by mom for the first time since I was about 4 years old. Huh? I surely must have needed one. Studied Geometry for about an hour. Adjusted crystal on crystal set during the afternoon till I could hear KSL (Radio Station) and could hear music pretty good but couldn’t make out speech. After dark I got another station with the set. It was KFDK Sacramento. That makes 10 stations I have heard with the Philmore Crystal Set.
