I tested on the bench, with "A few feet of wire" many times, but I think those radios had different front ends, possibly an RF amp. This one just behaved very strangely with this set-up.
It makes me wonder what the listener of 1938 was to expect from their SW radio, and how many would have gone to the lengths (pun intended) of putting up a big wire. That brings me back to an interest in "all wave" aerials that became popular about this time, as sets with SW bands became available, and how many of these would have been purchased and set up.
Anyway, now it is on to the cabinet

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
