DT {Boomer},

For a 'basic' Shortwave Listening (SWL) Indoor Antenna
to use with most 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios :
I would Recommend the Sony AN-LP1 Shortwave Active
Antenna placed on a Window near the Radio. ~ RHF

The Sony AN-LP1 Active Shortwave Loop Antenna is by-design
designed specifically for the "Metered" Shortwave Bands
{ Tune a Shortwave Band and Set It and Forget It ! - Simple ;-}
SONY AN-LP1 ANTENNA = http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/lp1.html

DESIGN = http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...t/3676clos.jpg
PLACEMENT = http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...nt/3676win.jpg
SEE - Sony AN-LP1 Antenna Manual - Figure "D" and Instructions
http://www.owdjim.gen.nz/chris/radio...ice_manual.pdf
TUNING = http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...nt/3676pre.jpg
With One Shortwave (SW) Band per setting for :
SW Band and Knob Setting
75m = 4 MHz
60m = 5 MHz
49m = 6 MHz
41m = 7 MHz
31m = 10 MHz
25m = 12 MHz
22m = 14 MHz
Then Two Shortwave (SW) Bands per setting for :
19m & 16m = 16 MHz
15m & 13m = 20 MHz
As noted the Sony AN-LP1 Active Shortwave Loop Antenna
performs very well between the
75 to 22 Metered Shortwave Listening (SWL) Bands
with some fall-off in performance between the
19 to 13 Shortwave Listening (SWL) Meters Bands.
.
NOTE - The Sony AN-LP1 'portable' Active Shortwave Antenna
is for the Shortwave Bands "Only" and covers 3.85 MHz to
21.95 MHz. [ NOT the AM/MW and FM Radio Bands ]

Want Something Bigger ? - Then Build Your Own In-Door

Build Your Very Own Slinky Window Loop Antenna :
Try a 'simple' Mini-Slinky on a Hula Hoop Antenna
placed on/in an outside facing Window.
