The Xtal Set Society, founded in 1991, is dedicated to once again building and experimenting with radio electronics. Our newsletters are packed full of projects and information about Crystal Radios, mostly dealing with design and electronics issues. Each issue contains lead articles--and often, a building project--a "tidbits" section including hard to find information, membership correspondence, and a list of vendors or references. Our lead articles are written by members of the Society. Sometimes we reprint a hard to find article from the 1920's or 30's. Members are encouraged to send projects and information to the Society and to correspond with each other. Is there really that much to write about Crystal Sets? Yes!
