    the guy in the video has MUCH better hearing than I do obviously...I couldn't hear
    anything that he claimed was there....

    if ya wanna build your own, go here for the schematics:

    maybe the guy over at the swamp can use it to replace his toobs in his FT-101...

    Nothing "spiritual" about it, it's a simple crystal diode detector, pretty much like the ones we all built when we were ten years old. I can't figure out the purpose of R1, though. Maybe to help with impedance matching for the line-in connection?

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    The resistor completes the DC path so the diode detector (rectifier) can operate, it replaces the 2,000 ohm headphones we used as kids. If you can't hear Tesla you can build a bigger antenna like the original, those things are too small, or you can hold a seance at the Hotel New Yorker room 3327.
