What is the best indoor SWL antenna I can get?

I don't really know which is the best indoor antenna. The Sony ANLP1
sells for around $100.00 and has been used successfully by several
SWL's. But if the best is what you have in mind there is a german
company that makes one for several hundred dollars.
I've had very good results with a window antenna. It's A simple wire
around the inner perimeter of a large window held in place with cup
holder suction cups. Another inexpensive and good performing antenna
is to run wire around the baseboards of your listening room. Just
tuck it behind the carpet.

For Anyone Who Mite Be Interested,
One of the very Best "Active" Antennas
for Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL)
There is an RF Systems DX-One Professional
MK 2 Active Antenna currently listed on eBay
with a Buy-It-Now Price of $400 + S&H
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120133631670
My 'estimated' of the Reserve Price isf between
$280 (70%) and $340 (85%)
http://www.elixcom.sk/dx-1.php
* Considereding that the MSRP in the USA is $699.95
and the on-line discounted price is $669.95 + S&H
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/sw_ant/1246.html
* This eBay Item could represent a 40% to 49% to 58%
Savings over a new one - based on the $670 on-line-price.
IF - You are limited to a relatively small Active Antenna
vice a Long Wire Antenna -and- can afford the price the
RF Systems DX-One Professional MK 2 Active Antenna
is highly recommended.
