HC Deb 15 May 1925 vol 183 c2204W
Colonel DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has considered the possibility of granting permission to the owners of wireless crystal sets to use an aerial in excess of the standard size, in view of the fact that these sets do not cause oscillation, and as the length of aerial determines the result obtained on these sets, which are generally used by people unable to purchase valve sets?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The question of increasing the standard size of wireless aerials has recently been considered, but the conclusion reached was that such an increase would not be in the general interest. Where, however, there are special reasons for requiring the use of a larger aerial, permission is given on application.
