Neighmond,
Wonderful recollections! We used to run the aerial wire off to a tree - the longer the run, the better the reception. Umm... I can see the porcelain insulators at either end. We had an independant 'earth pipe' for the wireless.
Wheww... a battery operated 12 tube - I'm impressed! Your TV description brought memories of my first contact with the 'boob tube' - silly thing is I have never lived with a TV set!
