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.

R6000 In the ham room for the ts450sat and just the whip up stairs for
the Satellite800.
