I'd like to put one in my attic for SW reception. What is the best
design? Is there a good web sitethat someone could point me? My house
is about 60 to 70 ft long and I think a large rectangle would do a
good job. Could you make a large rectangle with both ends terminating
into coax? The shield to one end and the center conductor to the other
or would it be best to run one very long wire clipped to the antenna
of the radio?

Run the wire from the center of the coax around the attic. Do NOT attach
the other end to the coax just leave it alone as a bare end. Run the
coax to the radio and keep the shield away from the center at the
antenna end.
