Default Re: Household aerial length limitation

Oscillating TRFs like super-regen sets is a good thought. It hadn't crossed my mind. I assume the limitation applied only to broadcast receivers and not to licensed amateurs because they would be using resonant aerials for transmission. Back in the day, the RSGB books covered Rhombics and Beveridges for the landed gentry.

Any earth wire inclusion in the allowance could be dodged by using a water pipe, I suppose. Aerials were a lot less well understood in those days.
