Well now that I've had this radio a few days, it seems OK. I sure regret
giving away my R390A though! I am currently stiffled by the lack of a
decent antenna. At my old QTH, I had a 130 ft. G5RV strung from a 30 ft
tree top. Condo living sucks for Radio enthusiasts.

I feel your pain.

I use a Wellbrook 330S and recommend it, though it isn't cheap.

Yes, using a small active loop antenna is most likely your best bet. You
could also make a large passive loop if you have a good place to put it
like an attic. Some condos have attics. If you don't have that then use
an outside wall as long as you do not have aluminum siding or stucco.
