Hello my Brother has given me a knight start roamer ll that he found at
a garage sale.
It came with copper wire and antenna wire but my question is how far
away from the house do i have to have the wires?

The further, the better. But when I had one (it was my first shortwave
radio, when I was something like nine years old!) we just suspended the
wire from the eaves on a couple of TV leadin insulators (maybe 3" long)
and it worked fine.
