Yet Another Antenna Question
 

Right now, I have an Antenna Supermarket Eavesdropper-T hooked up to my
R-75.
It seems to perform quite well.
First question is about maintenance. Do I ever have to do anything to the
antenna periodically?
How long will it last?
Next question; I'd like to put up another antenna to see if I can pull in
better signals on broadcast stations
that the Eavesdropper-T has trouble with. Would a longwire be the answer?
Any recommendations for length? Can I just use speaker wire? Should I
twist the 2 wires together? Can
I just staple it to my eaves, under the gutters, or is this a bad idea?
Or should I go for a completely different type of antenna?
Thanks for any help.
