Valve radio aerials in India (Techniek Overig)
In India, in the 1960's almost every valve radio set purchase would get supplied with this kind of copper net aerial or antenna for the radio set(high impedance input). My Dad got this too in 1968. Those early days they strung this on terrace top; after damage from crows and pigeons the same was moved inside the living room but compromising radio reception to some extent.
All Philips dealers in India and electronics shops carried this aerial and spares were even available upto 2001-2002.
Currently not available anywhere in India. I have my 2002 version with me. The photo with aerial connected to the Bush or Murphy radio is not mine.
My question to Holland folks is; did this kind of aerial for valve radios exist in Holland? I remember, Philips India closely followed Philips Holland for its radio manufacturing in Calcutta and later Pune. It is very highly possible that the Indian folks got inputs from Holland?
Thank you. Appreciate responses in English.
