In such instancesa fixed or variable condenser should be placed in serieswith the antenna or the ground, thus reducing the wavelength. While it is desirable to keep receiving sets as simpleas possible, especially where laymen who will always belaymen are concerned, good results, more particularly ata considerable distance from the transmission station,can only be obtained with fine tuning facilities.
