I built the circuit from the page below.

The I get 0v out when held near my wireless router, if
I put it near the microwave oven, the high input impedance
meter bounces up and down between 7mv and 80mv and
everything in between.
I used a 1N416E diode and a 1500pf filter capacitor. The
tuning cap doesn't have any affect.
Should this circuit work? If so what could I be doing wrong?

Hmmmm, I am not suprised at you 0V out near the Wireless Router,
when compared with a Microwave Oven, the difference in Power
Output IS significant. (100Mw Spread Spectrum, 100+ Watts
CW)
