For SW receiving only; instead of buying a whip antenna I plan to put
an insulated piece of wire in a ~2m bamboo stick, feed it to a
matching transformer 9:1, "ground" a coax shield to a massive iron
weight, and connect a center wire to my Rx.
The question is, will an equally long peace of wire through the window
do the job equally good as some CB whip ?

I reviewed different antenna set ups I could find on-line, and it
seems this is the only solution given the size and an idiotic
architectural design of the apartment.

Thank you.
