Outstanding find though I'm a bit preplexed, where does the AC power cord come in to play? Surely not an RF amplifier or is it an earlier version of the 60's phony TV antenna advertised in cheap magazines proporting
the use of the house AC system as a fantastic TV antenna. If so it
would be much more sucessful on AM and SW frequencies than on
the NTSC VHF and UHF bands.
