Dear Wally,

If you want a shortwave (only) antenna for use with a portable
shortwave radio, the best one for use in an apartment is the Sony AN-
LP1 which hangs in your window (inside) and can even be taken down and
packed away easily and conveniently at any time. It is currently
available new from only one source of which I'm aware


http://search.stores.ebay.com/buyfro...Q2dLP1QQsofpZ0


and this dealer is reportedly extremely reliable. It works extremely
well for shortwave reception and even minimizes to some extent local
electrical nose which is endemic in a high-rise.

If, however, by 'am' you mean the standard broadcast band, the best
antenna for the money is definitely the C. Crane Twin Coil Ferrite
Antenna http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/am-an...m-antenna.aspx
. (you can read an excellent review here http://www.radiointel.com/review-ccrane_twincoil.htm
). The reception element can be placed indoors on a windowsill and
the control element can be placed conveniently where you need it..

I own both of the above antennas and I can tell you that they are both
excellent in their respective niches. Either will work extremely well
in a high-rise apartment complex.

Best,

Joe
