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

Hi Bob
Dozens of portables...what kinds do you have? I'm an amateur collector
myself. Some are listed in one of my posts yesterday. I'm always bothered
by some type of interference or another, that's why I have to use the
MFJ-1026 at times.

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.
