DS,

The simplest and the easiest 'portable' Shortwave Antenna
to use with most 'portable' AM/FM and Shortwave Radios is
one of those 23 Foot Roll-Up Antennas.
[ Small - Compact - Portable - No Batteries Required ]

* Plug-It-In to the Radio's External Antenna 1/8" Jack.

* Snap-It-On to the Radio's Whip Antenna.

Here is one example using the SANGEAN Brand Name
(also RadioShack, Grundig, and 'no name' models)
Sangean ANT-60: The Sangean ANT-60 improves the reception of
any portable shortwave receiver. Outperforms the Radio's
built-in Telescopic (Whip) Antennas !

I'm picking up a Sony ICF-SW77 soon and now have to decide on an antenna.
I'm hoping other owners can offer some useful insights. Of course, a nice,
big, outside antenna would be nice, but this receiver is for travel. With
that in mind, what is a good indoor, compact, portable antenna?

Why does Sony not recommend using the AN-LP1 with this portable? The only
thing I can think of is potential overloading from the antenna's pre-amp.

Thanks for any assistance offered.
