In those days a radio was supposed to be licenced, so I expect that covered it.

Incidentally reading a BBC annual from the 30's, I was amused to see that the lowest percentage of licenced listeners were on Anglesey where I live, yet Caernarfon just over the water had the best licence figure for all Britain! We know where the goody-goodies lived then!
