Sir Greg, nobody here is old enough to remember what a crystal set is 
(except you) and certainly nobody in physics (Kensi will tell me you are 
not in physics I'm sure).

They took a vote (the way all science is decided) and the vote was 97% 
that it is "settled" that since crystal sets are no longer used, the 
question is irrelevant. Everyone agreed, however that the radio red 
shift is not due to loss of energy but to the constant expansion of the 
universe due to the Big Bang just like the red shift in stars.
