I remember building these as a kid. The reason for the diode makes sense,
but wouldn't the signal have to be strong enough to break over the forward
voltage drop of around .25 volts for the germanium diode? If so wouldn't a
weaker AM signal get chopped off and distorted when the modulated signal is
at the minimum point?
Please help me clarify how this really work. I'm obviously missing
something!
