I will soon be purchasing a Sony World Band Receiver ICF-SW7600GR

antenna. Does anyone have this radio and know a great antenna to pick
up things or just know a great shortwave antenna in general?


Simple long wire, if you have the room, is the best. Longer the better,
well, after 300 ft becomes an overkill. Run it though a 9:1 magnetic
balun and you are in business.

If you don't have the room, look into shortened antennas, even a
"broomstick antenna" will get you a bunch of stations--if mounted in a
good location.
