So I have the above listed reciever (Radio Shack DX-375) that has long
since had the built in telescopic whip antenna broken off. I'm looking
for advice in making do without. Does anyone have any advice on this,
besides simply addind a random wire in it's place?


So, I'll add onto this. First of all, thanks to those who have
answered, so far. I'll both consider them, and leave them for others
in the same situation. What I also want to cnsider, is this. Are there
any homebrew antennas that might work on the shortwave bands, that are
worth considering, in my situation?

Does your radio have a connector for an external antenna?

No. Amy replacement would need to attatch to where the telescope
screwed on to the base of where the telescopic antenna was attatched,
if not internally to the radio.
