Tips to the radioist on crystal detectors
A crystal detector cannot be satisfactorily amplified and must be treated with care. Insulate aerial wire ends with several small insulators and run aerials at right angles to electric light wires when possible. Use a lead wire sized for the total number of aerial wires. Grounding with gas piping is poor. cold water pipes are excellent. Indoor one wire aerials about 40 feet long from room to room are usually satisfactory within three to five miles of a broadcasting station.
