Hi, I'm fairly new to this also. All I have right now is a wire that is about
10 feet long.
It picks up plenty!!
Could only imagine what an outside antenna would do!

Have fun!!

Hi,

My daughter has taken an interest in short-wave and I am going to purchase
the Icom R-75.

The problem is that we live in the Cleveland OH area in a 3rd floor condo
and cannot place an outside antenna.

Without a good outside antenna is this venture doomed to failure and if an
inside wire antenna is used what kind of SW or AM distant stations should be
readable with such an arrangement in this area.

Thanks

This is the amazing part.
You have ~10 feet of wire and add another ten
Presto !
another station comes alive !
- IF you can put wire around the Outside of the window without injuring yourelf
then do it !!

even a 2 liter bottle wrapped in insulated wire makes a good antenna !
