Default beams

Maybe those sets were useful because the enemy would have little chance of listening in. With such a narrow beam of energy , an enemy receiving station a few degrees out of line would not hear anything ? During WW2 the Germans had a similar light communicating system .

Was the reflector in those ubiquitous wartime Lucas lamps a parabolic dish ?
