just under the square form antenna, and the long wire leading to the
radio.

As soon as I reversed the direction, with long wiring dropping from
the square shaped antenna, the battery pack sat side by side with my
degen 1102, so I won't be susceptible to the fragile wire connection,
as it won't be hanging.
Well that's excellent. I'm glad it is working for you. Even though my Eton E5 has a jack for an antenna, I still clip the DE31 to the telescopic antenna rather than plug it in directly. To my ears it seems to give me a slight advantage. Call me crazy.

Let us know if you get any unusual station receptions with your new shortwave reception powers!
