Living in the very center of Downtown Reno, with it's endless casinos
and neon lights and other obnoxious RF mutilators, has done a beautiful
job of wrecking my shortwave reception. The current solar situation is
certianly not helping any either. That being said, is there an antenna
that is sheilded or a loop antenna that i could build? My apartment is
a studio and there is no roon for an outdoor antenna(which would pick
up more noise anyway). I have an ANLP-1 active loop as well, which
reduces the noise a little bit...but still not enough to enjoy
listening.

What about making buddies with the maintenance guy and seeing if you
can get him to help you setup some type of antenna on the roof? You
would be surprized what a 6-Pack and pizza can get you in the world.
