My mate was given a 19 set. I had an old battery/valve radio. We connected the battery to the 19 set and threw a length of wire onto the shed roof for an aerial.
He went into the house to get some drinks just as I decided to try the 19 set. He came running out shouting 'turn it off' His mother had been watching telly (old VHF 405 lines) when the picture went all fuzzy and all he could hear was me saying 'Maurice, can you hear me'
