A glance through our local newspaper editions from the 1920s / 1930s reveals occasional inserts along the line of: 'would the person in the vicinity of 79 Senhouse Street please prevent his wireless receiver from oscillating.'

So the ability to turn a domestic TRF receiver into an interference-providing transmitter would be mitigated partly by having a lesser aerial. Maybe not by much, though, depending on matching and all that.
