Just getting into SW listening. Wondering which of the portable antennas
work best? How do the spooled 23-foot wire antennas like the Sangean
ANT-60& Kaito AN-03L compare to the antennas made from Slinkys I see listed
all over Ebay?

Thanks,

The main thing about a slinky is you can use it to get the most out
of a small space. I'm playing with a slinky dipole for the 80 metre
band, it certainly makes a reasonable receiving antenna and allows
me to get a signal out from from a 30 foot loft! You can see the

By the way, I don't know what what price the slinky antennas are but
they are simple to make. See
