Do you remember a "crystal set" radio? It had a chunk of Galena and
a cat-whisker -- they made a diode.So do 2 pieces of metal with a little
corrosion between them.

All it takes is a diode and a bunch of RF, and you get not just the
original RF signals, but mixtures of the signals....

Not there's no battery in a crystal set.

Now, given the inefficiencies in the process, it usually takes a
good antenna...or LOTS of RF and an ungood antenna..and you clearly
have the 2nd case.
