For starters, it doesn't have be elaborate - fifteen feet of wire around your ceiling will make a big difference. As a general rule, when scanning frequencies at least, remember that below 9.500kHz - best at night. Above 11.650 kHz: Best during the daytime. 9.500 - 9.900 kHz: Almost anytime. Let us know how you're doing. Tony Its Sangean ATS 505 I have tried it out a bit more and have found a few japan or china stations , just not very clear right now. I havent got any extra antenna's or anything,just the one attached to the radio :-) I am well familiar with that radio - I own one (though I don't use it much anymore since I got the Icom). You can buy from any Radio Shack or equivalent store - and many places online - a cheap "reel up" antenna that has a jack to fit the antenna input on that radio. Again, hang it up as high as you can for most of it's length. Very much an improvement over the whip, but don't expect miracles, of course. Still, it's a good way to start in the hobby.
