Hey Folks,
I'm Garrett. I'm new here, so I think it'd be appropriate to say hello..
I'm relatively new to the hobby, I recently bought my first shortwave
receiver, a Sony ICF-SW7600GR. I'm living in Michigan currently, and
I'm a Junior in High School.

So here's my questions:
I've been using my receiver with the included whip antenna and the
included portable wire antenna. I've been having trouble picking up
anything at all, even the more powerful stations. Does anyone have any
insight? Should I get an antenna? If so, what kind?

- Sony used to make a cool folding loop for that radio.
