*Open or closed loop wall antenna
*Slinky dipole
*Slinky verticle

Anything else ?

* The reciever is a Icom R-75

*73"s


In this order:

1. A multi-band tuned coil strung in the attic.
2. A simple longwire strung in the attic. Just string it around the
perimiter of the attic.
3. A simple longwire strung around the baseboards of your listening
room.
4. A wire antenna strung around the perimeter of a window.
