Tiny Tenna... is this a good antenna for a portable SW receiver?

The T-T is OK if your travelling and do your listening
from the Motel room in-between those service
calls and trade shows. If your in an apartment
however, just toss 10 feet of insulated wire out the
window and alligator-clip the end to the rod antenna
of the radio, and you will be amazed at the improvement
in reception.

Any particular gauge of wire?

The gauge of wire doesn't really matter, although I wouldn't go for the very thin magnet wire because it's not as easy to work with. Garden variety bell wire is fine.
