JimK,

For 'small' potable Radios, consider the "Portable Wire Antenna"
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.r...c03868d10d3d23

Note the "PWA" that was created and written
about -by- Tom Sevart [N2UHC]

Portable Wire Antenna "PWA" for the Sony ICF-2010.
To 'quote' Tom Sevant "This is an antenna I put
together after having problems with overload on
my Sony 2010 portable shortwave receiver"
