Making the Radio: The Coil
Construct the radio on a flat, wooden base, measuring about 30cm x 30cm (12 in. x 12 in.),
to which is fixed a coil of about 80 to 100 turns of approx. 22 swg uninsulated wire,
wound around and along a 30cm (12 in.) length of broom handle. It's important that the
turns on the coil don't touch. Attach the wires at each end of the coil to two
connectors: A (antenna) and E (earth).
