Q. What would be the result If n
crystal set were hooked to the same
aerial as a tube set?-J. A.
A. The LOomis Radio College saws
that it is possible to hook a crystal
set to the same aeriel as a tube set and
have both sets bring in signals salts
factorily. The best way to do this is
to hook the tube set up as usual and
then take the antenna wire from the
antenna binding post of the crystal
set and wind it tightly around the
antenna wire above the point at which
| it is connected to the tube set. The
wires should. of course. be electrically
/ insulated from each other. Make a
tight twist of as many turns as YOU
can get into a space about three inches
| long. This conveys the signals to the
crystal set by induction. Each set
should use a separate ground wire, but
| the final earth connection may be the
same.
