Tips to the radioist
A crystal detector cannot be satisfactorily amplified. Insulate ends of aerial wires with several small insulators. Run aerial wires at right angles to electric light wires where possible. Use the size of the lead wire equal to the total number of aerial wires. Gas piping makes a poor ground but cold water pipe ground is excellent. A crystal detector is never as efficient as a vacuum tube detector. Within three to five miles from a broadcasting station indoor one wire aerials about 40 feet long stretched from room to roof are generally satisfactory with crystal detectors.
