I can see what you mean about the insensitive nature of crystal sets, the only stations I could receive on mine were radio 3 from Daventry on medium wave from about 45 miles away, & radio 2 from Droitwich on long wave from about 65 miles away, both high power TX's. Nowadays I'd probably receive Gold Radio & Absolute from the Trowell Moor TX about 6/ 7 miles away. Mind you gold's on 999 khz & Absolute's on 1197 khz so a crystal set would have problems sepperating them I should think
