I have been to radio shack several times over the years inquiring about

sell good external antennas? perhaps Radio Shack isn't as good as one

hope!
Well, the best external shortwave antennas are pretty simple and made
of ordinary wire. Try a 50 to 100 foot length of 14 gauge stranded
wire. Home Depot might be a better option.

14 g is pretty thick for a wire antenna. I use ca. 20 g.


Be a man! I use 10 g.



I'd rather be a retard, if a man be you.


It looks to most people that you got your wish.
