I have several farm sets, including a Motorola and, *gasp* a Philco! With both of these, I use a string of 8 to 10 nine volt batteries for the plate circuit, and one D cell for the heaters.

Connected to my outdoor random length long wire antenna which uses RG59 coax as the lead in, I get no household AC interference; great for DXing!
