Mal,
I did build a "crystal radio" with a razor blade as detector when I
was 14 years old.
It had to be rusty to work properly and even then it was a very poor detector.
And it is an AM detector, so not useable for ham signals on 500kHz.

Quoting mal hamilton <[email protected]>:
Since I mentioned a Razor blade and fence wire RX a while back I
have had several requests for a circuit. To give others the
opportunity to submit a cct I will await replies. This method was
used successfully at Coldiz and other POW camps to receive BBC
broadcasts.
Let us know how you would approach the subject. This is applicable
to MF/LF since the broadcasts at the time were receicved on these
bands.
Build one and have a QSO using this RX
