The original Hiker's sets used a #49 dual grid radio tube. This
was not a screen grid tube or a tetrode in theusual sense. Both
grids were equal with one wound inside the other. Experimenters
started building smallradios with extremely low plate voltage using
the tubes in the space charge mode.

This project was taken from an old radio electronics magazine
from the 1930s. I personally have neverbuilt this speaker. Judging

build it, please letus know what you think of it.

Radio Building Projects"Fox Hole Radio Set"
(images/foxhole1.jpg) (images/foxhole2.jpg)
This is the famous "Fox Hole Radio" that our Troops built out in
the field during WW II. They borrowedparts and wire from any source
they could find. They used the radio to stay in touch with the
outside world.It's a very simple set to build and can offer
surprising results! As with all crystal radios, it's important
tohave a good antenna & ground system.
