Was wondering if it is safe to listen to Shortwave radio without
terribly long external antenna during such time. I actually like the
crackle pops along with the fading audio. Would I damage the radio by
doing this? Radio is Sony 2010 with about 10 ft. long antenna slung
near the window.

TIA

With an indoor antenna of that length, I wouldn't worry about it.
There are too many other things for the lightning to hit. If a storm
is particularly bad, you may want to disconnect the AC cord from your
2010 and run on batteries, but that's about it.
