"Rocket radios"

[Terry Perdue]

Is the "rocket radio" several have referred to the one I remember - a small
crystal set in a rocket-shaped plastic case, with its "nose cone" attached
to the tuning slug? It had a crystal headphone and a long length of antenna
wire with an alligator clip. Clipping it to the finger stop on a telephone
seemed to work best. They were 99 cents when I was a teen.
