I'd like to try an external antenna, but one was not included with my

Thanks....

Hello Jim,

Every type of metal wire will work for you situation (solid, stranded,
plasticized galvanized washing line, etc).

The best one I ever had was a Thordarson Meissner, can't remember the
model. The one I always wanted, was a Hammarlund Super Pro. Now that was a
radio!

My first receiver was an ex airforce model R1155...there was an outfit that
got hold of some surplus units and modified the power supply.....it was a
pretty good performer.....we had little choice, at that time !!
But you are so right about the Super Pro.
