I am looking for a folded dipole to be used on shortwave frequencies,
and I have "room" for up to 50 meters (160 ft) lenght.
Does someone know if there is something already built to be purchased?
And where?
With many thanks and kindest regards.

Hi Gio,

Try looking here for what you want:

Do a search for Alpha Delta. They make a variety of antennas, included
those specialized for shortwave reception. Very rugged construction.
Reasonable prices. (Used to have one of their SW slopers -- good
antenna.)
