That's something that I could do here.
Thanks for the ideas Dwight...


It works, but it's real overkill. In my case, it's done now so I use it
with the shortwave. But I probably wouldn't do it again. Instead, I'd
probably look into some type of folded wire antenna that is less intrusive.
Luckily, antennas for scanners are much shorter than antennas for a
shortwave receiver. Take care, Jackie.
