+AD4APgA+AD4-So I have the above listed reciever (Radio Shack DX-375) that has long
+AD4APgA+AD4-since had the built in telescopic whip antenna broken off. I'm looking
+AD4APgA+AD4-for advice in making do without. Does anyone have any advice on this,
+AD4APgA+AD4-besides simply addind a random wire in it's place?
+AD4APgA+
+AD4APgA+
+AD4APgA+ So, I'll add onto this. First of all, thanks to those who have
+AD4APgA+ answered, so far. I'll both consider them, and leave them for others
+AD4APgA+ in the same situation. What I also want to cnsider, is this. Are there
+AD4APgA+ any homebrew antennas that might work on the shortwave bands, that are
+AD4APgA+ worth considering, in my situation?

+AD4APg-Does your radio have a connector for an external antenna?

+AD4 No. Amy replacement would need to attatch to where the telescope

+AD4 if not internally to the radio.

If your fabrication skills are good, you could construct a tuned loop for SW. There's plans on the web and youtube videos. I think you'd be able to get by without the coupling loop, just put the radio close to the antenna, in the right direction, and radio's internal ferrite antenna will pick it up.

The loop doesn't have to be circular.
