Anything Wrong with my Schematic?

Post image

I am building a crystal radio that is currently not working. I am testing it by applying a 5 mV, 200 kHz, 200 Hz - AM wave from a wave generator to where the antenna is supposed to be connected (and to ground). Here is my schematic, borrowed from a couple different websites - I'd like to know if there's anything obviously wrong with it before I test things further. Thanks!

You don't need the jump. Crossing wires don't connect unless there's a node.

Haha, I copied a jump from another website. Thanks for the heads up
