Okay, antenna talk time, what do you use?

Morning, I have used a sloping "L" for years both in Ridgecrest, Ca. and
here in the Philippines. This works very well for me, just be sure to run
the long leg E-W.
I'll google that one and try it. I'm happy with the reception I am
getting but I guess part of the fun is playing around with stuff like
antennas.... I figure with my little unit, I can't ask it to do too
much. I figure I should have at least 2 different antenna lengths,
probably 4 would even be better.
I also figured out the SW radio I had 13 or so years ago, it was an RS
DX-390 that went kaput after 2 years. I remember it would auto-mute
though when flipping the dial. Too bad I mucked it, reading through
the web, it was probably fixable.
And DxAce, thanks much for your input.
Now if I could find a radio shop here in South Carolina besides Radio
Shack that sold shortwave/scanner stuff........
Grove is in Brasstown, NC. How far is that?
