After a week of owning the Grundig G6, so far the best antenna
arrangement for me is simply running a speaker wire along the ground
about 70 feet in my backyard. The Slinky antenna didn't work out well,
running a wire on the top of my house gave me more inference (plus
overloading), and the whip antenna isn't good on weaker signals. I've
heard that a CB antenna does well on the higher freqs on SW (15mhz and
above), if I can get one cheap, I'll try to hook that up on my roof.

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

I have two split shielded loops. One north-south and the other east-west.

I have a Alpha Delta DX sloper running north to south and a terminated
long wire running east to west. I also run a length of 11 gauge wire
150 ft northeast. I use the long wires at times also for the BCB when
needed but usually will use my loop antennas on a couple of
turntables. Three other different kinds of scanner antennas mounted 20
ft. high and the bad ass Channel Master antenna 30ft. in the air. :-)
