Default antenna?

It's a good antenna if you are moving the radio from place to place such as
traveling. If it's going to be used at home all the time, a piece of wire
strung up in the house attic (if you have one) will be far better. I would
also recommend spending the extra dollar for the antenna plug and a $7 el
cheapo soldering iron from radio shack to get it working. Also look up "180
feet 20 AWG wire $5.99 Catalog #: 278-1225 " on the RS website. You could
have a good antenna setup for the price of the Sangean antenna. My first
decent antenna setup was the one I just mentioned. It really did well. If
you have some decent size space outside to put up an antenna, the world is
your oyster.

Three 60-ft. spools of stranded, 20-gauge wire.

http://www.ozgear.com.au/Sangean/ANT60.htm its a portable antenna and i
was wondering if anyone have seen/tried it?.I need an antenna because
with my normal antenna that comes with my radio it is close to
impossible to get ANYTHING in the daytime.
