Crystal Radios vs "Crystal Controlled" Radios
You know I can only judge a poster in this or any other group on the credibility of information of the posts he or she makes with respect to the things I have experience in. So I'll call you on this -- crystal radios are not "crystal controlled". They use a crystal (or these days -- 1945 onward in my experience) a simple diode to rectify the RF signal. I built one in grade school. I, too, built an AM transmitter when I was of highschool age. Making one with a Colpitts circuit requires a transistor, a tunable coil, two resistors and two capacitors and 15 minutes. ISTR I got the diagram from a copy of Popular Mechanics circa 1958.
You are so funny. I said I have been in computers for over 30 years, I am 55 years old, how do you come to I must have been 12? I think you math is faulty. I never said when I got the patent, did I give you a date and time? Now I know how the government thought they would get away with all this, you guys don't even know how to use a calculator. But in highschool I built my first computer from scratch, my electronics teacher told me I couldn't do it but I did. Also just for grins and giggles, everyone else built those crystal controlled radios in class, LOL, I was the only one that built an AM radio transmitter. I just had to be different. The other was just too simple.
You know that expression, "You don't have a clue" well that appears to be a pretty good slogan for this thread. I have boxes and boxes of court documents, testimony, sworn statements etc etc. It would take anyone of you a month or more to just read through all of it. you have it all wrong, it isn't I who needs to convince you, that is pretty much impossible at this stage, it is someone out there that would need to convince me they could help if what I said was true and factual. I guess I was looking for someone that did CARE or COULD DO something other that spout more inuendos and rumors via igorance. LOL you guys may have already started a rumor that I am BILL GATES. I didn't see the connection at all.
You guys can't even get a few simple facts I give to you straight.
And hey the 12 years old was some what entertaining, stupid but entertaining.
