Default Okay, antenna talk time, what do you use?

My question is, what do you use for an antenna to listen to shortwave?



My dozens of portables just use the built in whip. I get good enough
reception on the 2nd floor of my house here.

My radios that don't have built in antennas (Drake R8 and some 1930s tube
radios) use a random wire strung in the attic.
