Hello to all. I am new to shortwave radio and just recently purchased a Sony
7600GR. I have been enjoying listening to BBC and many other stations and
hearing the news from a different perspective. Now here are a couple areas
that I have been thinking about.

1. I am really interseted in the ATS909 due to the amount of memory
locations that it has. For use at home where I plan to install some kind of
antenna in the attic, would this be a better radio.

2. What kind of antenna would anybody recommend for installation in a attic.
I do not want to spend a whole lot, but can get almost any kind of wire for
next to nothing. I live in a condo that does not allow anything outside, but
my floor plan is 1900 sq ft on a single floor and is very long in the attic
for installing an antenna.

Thank you for any information or insight you can provide.
