As promised I've chucked some Wire out of the Window and hung it from the Guttering. I've also banged a length of 15mm Copper Pipe into the Ground in front of the Window to use as an earth. I then lashed up a simple Crystal Set with an OA91 (CV7130), the British General Coil and an ancient Tuning Capacitor feeding a pair of 4,000R Headphones.
And it works
Well, a bit. I can get The Light Programme on Long Wave and something on Medium. It's very noisy - Acoustically - in here at the moment so I'll have to try again later when it's quieter. One interesting thing is that it works better with the 'Aperiodic Switch' in the AG position, so probably Lawrence is right and it means Aerial to Grid.
