A historic guide explains building a basic radiophone receiver with an 80 to 200 foot antenna, ground connection away from grounded materials, and a DIY tuner crafted from cardboard tubing, No. 22 wire, magnets, and wood blocks.

A crystal detector cannot be satisfactorily amplified and insulation for aerial wires is advised. Run aerial wires at right angles to electric light wires and use a lead wire sized to the total number of aerial conductors. Gas piping makes a poor ground while a cold water pipe is excellent.

Indoor runs about 40 feet long between rooms with crystal detectors are usually satisfactory within three to five miles of a broadcasting station.
