@ Jesus

I don't know if you seen this video but it may help you with your setup.

It shows how to make a foxhole radio.

It's all most the same thing your doing.

Thank you @slayer007 !
That is exactly what I did! The only difference is that mine does not get any radio sound.

I checked the diode and it conducts electricity both ways.
Now I will try with a 1N60 diode I have available.

You might try turning your coil on it's side, adjusting it by 90 degrees, I know this may sound strange and irrelevant, but your coil may be oriented in such a way as to gather signal from a stronger, non radio source...  such as a nearby light bulb, or an in wall wire.

It's going to be a long time before I can test my fishing-pole aerial, the weather here just stays bad lately.

Thank you @jadaro !
I have seen lately different kind of crystal radioes. And must of them are on the way you recommend. Just a few are on the way I am doing it.
