"A. D. Harvey, of Lanham, Prince
Georges county, announces he has
patented regenerative antenna
for use only on one-tube radio re-
ceiving sets. Harvey says he has
been informed by a number of fans
IN widely scattered sections Of the
country that by aid of his antenna
they are getting unusual results
BY use of his device, Harvey says,
he has been able to hear foreign
countries almost every night, the
Philippine Islands probably being
the most distant to come through
and distant stations have come In
clear even when he used two o:
three loud speakers with two-sta6t
amplifiers. The antenna requires
from % inches to 100 feet of wire
according to it's size, Harvey ex
