I've been wondering what the quality of the SW reception is like.

Very good and quiet if done properly. The BEST antenna (most won't use
though)
is a 108" (I think that's the right inch) steel whip.

Ground....ground.......ground.......can't be said enough.

Hmmm, I have a car project and and a Philips DC777 is going in it. The body
is glass-fibre reinforced plastic. Is grounding likely to be trouble?

Are there any retractable antennae this long?
