Aerial Farm (1920s)
This shot of a couple lying on the grass dates from the 1920s but the intriguing thing is what appears to be an aerial farm in the distance. I know that the guy built receivers but don't think he ever had a transmitting licence. Any comments on the aerials?

I want them (and the space to put them).

Re: Aerial Farm (1920s)
They may just be receiving aerials.
There was a lot of experimenting in those days. |

Re: Aerial Farm (1920s)
I can make out some 4 sided loops and a 6 sided loop at the tops of some masts looking like old fashioned MW radio aerials. Great days for the radio experimenter then

Would that be Mr. Murphy?

Re: Aerial Farm (1920s)
No, he was a cabinet maker by trade. I guess he was visiting someone because he lived in a house without much in the way of garden. Thanks for the comments on the aerial types.
